Nick’s Keys to the Game: Duke

There is no doubting that Duke is a little short on the talent side, but for whatever reason the Blue Devils have always been a thorn in the side of the Wahoos. Every year, I go in expecting an easy win, and usually I watch in stress and come away generally annoyed by the game. The Cavaliers just don’t ever seem to get up for the game. Incidentally, this has been the problem in both the UVa games so far this season.

As far as keys to winning this game, they are much more about what Virginia needs to do (and not do) than they are about the threat that Duke poses. There are some keys to this game that, if executed, will help us all enjoy Homecoming weekend with a win and a 1-0 start to the conference schedule.
