We start in the battle in Wake Forest. It was Wake Forest and Duke. Duke was a 1.5 point home favorite in that matchup. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons were playing with house money, playing very consistent under Dick at their new head coach. They're going to a bowl this year, but this game was one. Early and often right here by the Duke Blue Devils physicality on the offensive line, Darren Mensah coach stepped up and they dominated this matchup. They won it by 17 points, put up only almost 50 on Wake Forest, a very solid effort entering their conference championship this Saturday night. Yeah, and the, and the thing is Duke won the, the turnover battle. It was 4 to 0 in the turnover battle, so Duke won it, uh, by that amount. Uh, Wake Forests played pretty well other than turning the ball over so much. Duke is a team that lives and dies by Darian Menza. If he's hot, if he's doing well, they do well. Uh, they don't run the ball well enough. Their defense has been inconsistent, but really when he does well, they do well. So it was a great, uh win for Duke, won by a lot of points, but again. It was all about turnovers. Wake Forest, and I think their head coach did a great job. We didn't mention mention him for jobs other places, but I tell you, Wake Forest will have a hard time holding on to him if he keeps winning. But again, Duke played better, did not turn the ball over and once you get to conference championship level or the end of the season, you better not turn the ball over or give up one play explosive touch. Downs. One play drives are hard to make up and turnovers are hard to make up. Yeah, Darren Mensa played very well. He completes 24 of 35 passes, 268 yards, 2 touchdowns, no interceptions. On the flip side, Robbie Ashford put up 342 passing yards in that performance. Wake Forest finishes the year coach 4-4 in the conference, but 8-4 overall. This was a team with Jake Dickert that had a 4.5 preseason win total. They overexceed expectations and their team to keep an eye out on next season in 2026. The early game took place in Pittsburgh. We saw that Miami Open coach as a 6.5 point road favorite against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh dominated Georgia Tech the week before as a 2.5 point underdog. Again. We've seen Pitt in back to back, big games at home come out flat. They did yet again. Miami took it to them early. They built a first half lead and never looked back. They had a 17 to 7 1st half lead. They win it by 31 and coach Mario Cristobal and the staff, tax late touchdown on with just about a minute left. Thoughts about that and the overall performance by the Hurricanes in Pittsburgh. But the the Hurricanes know the, the, the, uh, obstacles they've got to overcome. They put themselves behind the eight ball. They've won the last 4 games by an average of 27 points. They sacked uh Mason Hensel, the first play, and it was all downhill from there, and they took over, uh, Carson Beck, I think, uh, he's now the number 1% passer in the country at 74.9%. He's doing a great job, but I. Miami is a team that looks back on their season like what the heck happened? We were better than everybody. What we do doing losing, and now they're up there taking it serious. And the question is, with all this, with as good as they're playing, is it enough to get them in the playoffs? I think some other things have to happen. Duke being one of them, um, but they're the better football team of all the teams in the ACC, they've got a heck of a lot of talent.
