Virginia vs Duke Live Stream: Watch Cavaliers vs Blue Devils Online
By Tim Kaiser
Here’s how to live stream the ACC Coastal battle between Duke and Virginia.
Neither Duke nor Virginia is going to win the ACC. Unless something really strange happens neither will even sniff the top of the ACC Coastal division. However, this game could be compelling because both teams come in riding high and are fairly evenly matched. If history is more your thing, these teams have been playing since 1890, and Virginia leads the series by just one game (34-33).
Virginia got their first win of the season and first win of the Bronco Mendenhall era last week. After dropping the first three games of the year, including the home opener to Richmond of the FCS, the Cavaliers knocked off Central Michigan 49-35. Despite UVA jumping out to a 28-0 lead it was an intriguing game, as the Chippewas stormed back to tie it in the fourth quarter. Three fourth-quarter touchdown passes (82 yards, 5 yards, and 53 yards) by Kurt Benkert iced the game for Virginia.
Duke is coming off their 38-35 upset win over Notre Dame in South Bend. Freshman Daniel Jones threw for 290 yards and three touchdowns with a 75 percent completion percentage. Fellow Charlotte product, senior Jela Duncan ran 21 times for 121 yards and a touchdown. Duke will have to win this one without their leading rusher, as Duncan was ruled out with a leg injury. He was averaging 5.6 yards per carry. Junior Shaun Wilson, yet another Charlotte native, is averaging just 3.8 yards per carry, though he did go for 66 yards on just 13 carries against the Irish.
The line has been predominantly steady for this game. Duke opened as a 4.5-point favorite, but after the Duncan news dropped it to 3.5 the line has settled just a half-point from the opener.
