Miami vs. Duke: Game prediction

The Hurricanes will need another strong performance from Barkate, who caught 10 passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns against ND, along with more production from their running backs.

Defensively, Miami's biggest challenge will be slowing Duke running back Nate Sheppard, who has rushed for 1,189 yards and 17 touchdowns on the season.

Duke has the defensive talent to keep this competitive, and Diaz's familiarity with Mensah adds another challenge. But Miami has the more explosive offense, home-field advantage and plenty of motivation following its disappointing performance in South Bend.

Final score prediction: Miami 38, Duke 21.
