Duke's Mayo Bowl. Usually, you go with the team that has the better QB and that would be the Terps with Taulia Tagovailoa (although it is being reported his backup will also see action so maybe something is going on). However, Maryland has been hammered by opt-outs and transfers, including receivers Dontay Demus Jr., Jacob Copeland and Rakim Jarrett, tight end CJ Dippre, linebacker Ahmad McCullough and top cornerback Deonte Banks. NC State wasn't hit quite as hard -- not counting former starting QB Devin Leary as he was hurt in October and never returned before transferring, and the Wolfpack's defense is vastly superior. Maryland is 7-0 when running for 130 yards or more and 0-5 when it doesn’t. NC State comes into this 11th in the nation against the run allowing just 103 yards per game. NCSU should also have the fan advantage in Charlotte. Either coach better get a mayo bath after the win! I think that would either be awesome or require heavy doses of doxycycline after. Sort of like a foam party at a club.
