The Duke football program enters the weekend with a chance to put itself in a prime position to take home its first ACC Championship since 1989, and the Blue Devils have been fairly lucky with the injury bug this season. After both Louisville and Virginia lost in-conference games in upset fashion last weekend, Duke is one of five one-loss teams in conference play. The top of the ACC standings is a jumbled mess, but Duke still has some of the best odds to win the conference crown with how easy its schedule is for the remainder of the season after this date with the Cavaliers.
After the Blue Devils face Virginia, they will play North Carolina on the road and Wake Forest at home, two of the bottom-half teams in the league, and both those contests are ones Duke should win. However, the Blue Devils have struggled against ranked opponents at home this season, falling to both Illinois and Georgia Tech. This date with the Cavaliers gives Duke the chance to make it all irrelevant.
Here's the full initial injury report for the matchup.
