Cian Slone, Darian Mensah, NC State v Duke | Grant Halverson/GettyImagesWith a 3-2 overall record but a 2-0 record in ACC play, consistency wasn't exactly a thing of note for the Duke Blue Devils' football program through the first five weeks of the season.
The wins over NC State and Syracuse were impressive, and primed the Blue Devils to be tied for first place in the conference. The biggest points of concern? The offensive line and protecting quarterback Darian Mensah.
Through the first five games of the season, Mensah was sacked 10 times for a loss of 55 yards as the O-Line struggled to remain healthy, leaving its quarterback vulnerable on numerous occasions.
