FSU football: Top 5 reasons Noles will defeat Duke Blue Devils Friday night

Parting Thoughts

I like this game on paper for FSU. FSU's defense should match up well with Duke's offense and a quarterback who's not a huge threat to run with the ball and do damage. Duke struggles to convert third downs, an area FSU has struggled to stop teams.

I think FSU will have an advantage in the trenches when on defense.

The FSU offense didn't score any more points against Clemson than they had been with Brock Glenn at quarterback. However, the offense still looked different, even though they couldn't establish a running game.

Clemson's defense is better than Duke's overall, so I'm curious to see what the FSU offense could look like with Brock Glenn and a few weeks to prepare.

The FSU offense showing up or not really will be the difference in this game. If they score 20+ points, I think they win this game easily as long as they don't turn it over multiple times.
