ACC Review - Week 7

A look at last week's games. This on Duke / GT:

Georgia Tech appears to be rounding into shape. One week after dismantling Maryland on the road, they methodically and soundly beat Duke. This was a perfect game for a letup, but they never really gave Duke a chance. Very quietly, the Yellow Jackets are laying claim to second-tier status in the conference along with Virginia, NC State and Virginia Tech.

For Duke, well, it's looking like the Ted Roof optimism is over. They aren't going to win more games than they won last year, in part because of a series of injuries. Fortunately for coach Roof, not much is expected of Duke football. The alumni aren't going to be calling for his head unless he puts together three or more seasons of this kind of play.
