The Duke football program is desperate for a victory after dropping two straight games across the past two weeks. Now 1-2 on the season, head coach Manny Diaz and the Blue Devils have a clean slate, as they will open up conference play this weekend against NC State. With Clemson looking like one of the most disappointing teams in the nation, the ACC is now wide open, and Duke could put itself right back in the mix with a victory over the Wolfpack on Saturday. Any College Football Playoff hope Duke had before the season is now out the window, but there's still hope for the program to bring home its first ACC Championship since 1989. That quest begins with a bounce-back home victory over the Wolfpack this weekend.
