Duke opened up the year against Alabama. While the Blue Devils did end up losing the game, the Blue Devils were able to contain the very potent offense of the Crimson Tide as they only allowed 42 points on the day. The Blue Devils did put in 3 points in the loss. The second game was one that the Blue Devils were able to win as they played against North Carolina AT and won the game rather easily 45-13.

Quentin Harris is the quarterback who has been able to lead the Blue Devils on the year so far. He has managed to go 42-64 on the year with 442 yards. What is nice for the Blue Devils is he has thrown 4 touchdowns and only 2 picks on the year. Deon Jackson is the leading rusher for the Blue Devils on the year as he has carried the ball 23 times for 106 yards.

Middle Tennessee really played some great football on the opening game. The Blue Raiders only lost to the Michigan team by 19 points and actually contained the Wolverines offense until the game was starting to get closer to the end. The second game saw the Blue Raiders continue to have a strong showing on the year as they won the game over Tennessee State by a score of 45-26.

Asher O’Hara is the quarterback who has been able to lead the Blue Raiders in quarterback with a 44-62 from the air with 584 yards passed for and 6 scores, but he did throw a couple of picks. O’Hara is also the leading rusher for the Blue Raiders as well with 24 carries for 135 yards and a touchdown.

The Blue Devils are a team that has been able to play decent against good teams so far and so have the Blue Raiders. However, the game is one that could really turn into a battle of attrition and going to have the offense in getting the ball moved down the field. The Blue Raiders have the better defense in this game against the big name teams and that will help the Blue Raiders bring home a win. Final Score Prediction, Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders win, but grab the points 35-31.
