What expectations do the Duke faithful have heading into Friday night against Louisville?

"“The expectations will be varied for the Blue Devils after upsetting Notre Dame as three-touchdown underdogs but losing to Wake Forest and Virginia. Duke fans will be looking to see improved decision-making from redshirt freshman quarterback Daniel Jones and hope the defense can continue their success from the Army game against an extremely talented Louisville offense, otherwise this one will be over early.”"

I think this one is going to be over early regardless. Duke’s loss to Virginia should be extremely concerning for anyone hoping for a Blue Devil victory. The Cardinals are on a different level than most ACC teams and this will be the toughest defense that Duke freshman quarterback Daniel Jones has ever faced in his young NCAA career.

Cardinals win big. Let’s say, 56-7.
