Would Georgia or Notre Dame (upper echelon teams like that) would have trouble with Duke if they were playing them this week? I tend to believe they would murder a team like Duke at HOME especially after a lost. But when I hear all the Miami podcasters and previews of this game it seems as though everyone is scared of Duke (blaming it’s a 12pm game etc).

If that’s the case are we truly a fraud team? I just can’t see Georgia, Bama or Notre Dame podcasters, fans, etc be shyting their pants playing Duke in which the game is at HOME! What am I missing here? After hearing about Duke in all these previews this week I feel like we playing Clemson in their prime and Duke defense is another version of the 85 bears.
 
Duke has something to prove this weekend. If Duke fans are honest, they have not played a great team yet. They just blew the doors off a team that doesn't have a coach and BC. That means nothing. Let's see how good they are. And let's see how good we are now that we have a full week of practice without Mali and a defense that hopefully learned from some great second half adjustments.

Our OL and DL don't give us anything ... Manny is great at firing up blitzes from all angles.
It's on Mensah to get rid of the ball quicker instead of ducking and weaving around..

Let's pretend I said the exact same thing. These are my sentiments too.

Your first sentence is 100% when putting the bias to the side. That’s why I am tending to believe we are not really in that echelon especially with this defense. It’s amazing how these so called insiders and who watched camp were pumping up this defense. I think we have a bunch of frauds who cover this team.

It’s the continuous inability to defend the passing game that has everyone worried.

We’re talking like 4 straight games where every analyst, podcaster, random tik-toker keeps pointing out how bad our pass defense is and it doesn’t get fixed.

So I wouldn’t necessarily say we’re fraudsters. But I don’t see us going far in the playoffs until it gets fixed.

2024 doesn’t count. Auburn would be Duke in my opinion.

It 100% counts. ND went to the final that season.

Maybe you missed Saturday's game, but ND is not an "upper echelon" team. And, no, I don't think Georgia would have any problem with Duke.
