Duke quarterback Darian Mensah and Virginia's Chandler Morris and running back J’Mari Taylor are the big names in this ACC Championship Game matchup. But Virginia's defense should not be overlooked. The Cavaliers are one of 28 teams giving up fewer than five yards per play. The Blue Devils felt the wrath of Virginia's defense in their 34-17 loss on Nov. 15. The Cavaliers held the Blue Devils to just 1.8 yards per carry. One of Duke's two touchdowns came on a pick-six. The Blue Devils have a better-than-average run defense. They gave up a 78-yard touchdown run to Taylor during their loss to Virginia. Aside from that run, though, Duke held Taylor to 55 yards on 17 carries. Morris is more efficient than explosive. These teams know each other, having just played a few weeks ago. So look for this game to go UNDER, too, just as it did in the first meeting. Take the UNDER.
