A big part of that defensive dominance came down to Louisville's ability to keep the quarterback under pressure: the team laid him out four times before it was all said and done. Duke's QB won't forget Ashton Gillotte anytime soon given Gillotte sacked him four times.

Virginia Tech fell on hard times earlier this season, but after back-to-back wins it seems like their luck might finally be changing. They steamrolled past Syracuse 38-10 at home. The oddsmakers were on Virginia Tech's side, but they didn't give the squad enough credit as the margin was unexpectedly wide.

Saturday's contest might be decided on the ground as these two are both standouts in the run game. The Cardinals have been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 185.2 rushing yards per game.
