The Duke Football team will end the regular season with an afternoon kickoff at Wallace Wade Stadium against the Miami Hurricanes.

Days after the ACC announced what time the Duke Blue Devils would be playing this week (November 23), the conference announced that the Blue Devils will host the Miami Hurricanes at 3:30pm EST next week (November 30).

The Blue Devils and the Hurricanes will close out the regular season in Wallace Wade Stadium and it could be the last game of the season for Duke if the team does not beat Wake Forest on Saturday and the Hurricanes next week.

Duke stands at 4-6 this season and must win its final two games to reach bowl eligibility.

Miami started the season slow, but have found its footing recently, sitting at 6-4 with two games left in the regular season, both on the road against Florida International and the Blue Devils.

The ACC did not announce what network the game will be broadcasted on as the possibilities still include ESPN, ESPN2, or the ACC Network and that announcement will come at the end of this week (November 23).

Duke is coming off of a victory over Miami a monsoon last season, winning 20-12 in South Florida but the Hurricanes hold a 13-3 lead over the Blue Devils in the series history.

The Blue Devils won the first game of the series in 1976 and its only other win outside of last season came in 2013, although the 2015 game in Durham still causes Duke fans to get mad.

Both team still have a game to focus on before they can lock in on one another, but in the long haul, this game could mean much more to the Duke Blue Devils than it could for the Miami Hurricanes.

Miami has been officially eliminated from ACC contention yet, as Virginia Tech would win the Coastal Division if Miami, Pittsburgh, Virginia, and Virginia Tech all end up with a 5-3 record in conference play.
