Game Preview
The matchup between No. 5 Miami and Duke this Saturday carries extra intrigue, especially with Manny Diaz, Miami native and first-year Duke head coach, leading the visiting Blue Devils. Diaz, once Miami’s defensive coordinator (2016-18) and head coach (2019-21), was replaced by Mario Cristobal, who signed a 10-year, $80 million deal with Miami. This storyline only adds fuel to this key ACC faceoff at Miami Gardens.
Undefeated Miami (8-0, 4-0) comes in with an explosive offense and is heavily favored. The Hurricanes rank first nationally in points per game (46.8) and third in third-down conversions (59.8%). Quarterback Cam Ward has been stellar, ranking second in the country in passing touchdowns (24) and third in passing yards per game (343.3). His top target, Xavier Restrepo, ranks second in the ACC in receiving yards (710) and has moved up the Miami career charts, surpassing former NFL greats Reggie Wayne and Michael Irvin. Miami’s ground game also features a powerful running back trio, led by Mark Fletcher Jr. and 232-pound Damien Martinez, who rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns last week in a 36-14 win over Florida State.
Meanwhile, Duke (6-2, 2-2) brings a strong defense, ranking second in the ACC in points allowed (18.6) and tied for 20th nationally with Alabama. The Blue Devils also lead the nation in fumble recoveries (10), an edge they’ll need against Miami’s high-powered offense. However, Duke’s offense faces challenges, ranking tied for 14th in the league in scoring (26.0).
Duke quarterback Maalik Murphy, a Texas transfer, has completed 58.6% of his passes for 17 touchdowns and five interceptions this season. His key weapons are RB Star Thomas, who has 785 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns, and receivers Eli Pancol and Jordan Moore, who have combined for over 900 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.
For fans and bettors, this game offers a fascinating clash between Miami’s high-octane offense and Duke’s resilient defense.
