Tale Of The Tape: Virginia Travels To Durham To Meet The Blue Devils

It’s another Friday, game day is tomorrow afternoon at 12:30, so it’s time to look at the tale of the tape between Virginia and the Duke Blue Devils.

Weather forecast calls for an 80 percent chance of rain in the morning through about 2 PM in Durham, so conditions could be sloppy. Statistically the two teams are very similar with Duke’s offense averaging only 3.2 yards more per game in total yards, and Virginia’s defensive statistics slightly better than the Blue Devils. On paper, the numbers say it’s a stalemate. So who makes the fewest mistakes in all likelihood will decide the game.
