This is a massive number and you to question just how motivated the Duke Blue Devils will be to really blow the doors off. However, we do know Duke will be awake for this contest after just losing to Ohio State its last time out. Also, the South Carolina State Bulldogs have gotten their boots smoked all season long by teams far and away less talented. I have to lay the chalk here.
