We had 201 yards rushing against Duke. GTech is at 98 or on pace for 196 yards on the ground. Have we considered that Dukes defense is pretty damn good?

I don't think anyone here disparaged Duke's defense after the game. The secondary is NFL-caliber (guys who will go to camp), and the speed up front gave us fits.
Hard to compare anyone's rushing results against a common opponent with GT. They are such a different animal with that triple option. In my opinion, the triple option is very hit and miss. If a team can't defend it, they give up 500 rushing yards, but if they're prepared and discipline, they can really shut it down. I think it's hard to get a read when comparing GT's results against Duke to ours. That being said, I do think Duke has a nice defense that will prove itself throughout the season.
