How Both Teams Got Here
Duke is 2-0. The Blue Devils beat Tulane 17-3 in a defensive opener, then went to Champaign and beat Illinois 31-27. Winning on the road against a Big Ten team is the most impressive thing either of these programs has done this season.
Stanford is 1-1 and has not played since September 4. The Cardinal beat Hawai’i 37-27 in the opener, then were beaten 45-6 at home by No. 5 Miami.
What to Watch
Two weeks of rest for Stanford against a Duke team on a short turnaround from an emotional road win. Long layoffs this early usually help the team with the thinner roster, and Stanford needs the reset after the Miami result.
Duke’s formula has been defense and timely offense rather than volume, and 17 points was enough to beat Tulane. If this becomes a low scoring game, the Blue Devils are more comfortable there than Stanford has shown itself to be.
