The Records

The Pick
Miami is a mess. It fired Al Golden following their embarrassing loss to Clemson last week and will be without starting quarterback Brad Kaaya, who suffered a concussion versus the Tigers. With Kaaya out, backup Malik Rosier will start after completing just 7-of-22 passes with two interceptions last Sunday versus Clemson. Things won’t get any easier tonight for Rosier, who faces the No. 9 ranked defense in the nation in Duke, which is allowing just 281.3 total yards per game this season. The Blue Devils are also giving up just 14.1 points per game, which is sixth in the country.
