Duke’s strong offensive line set to pose challenge for Hurricanes’ talented defense

The Hurricanes have done a good job all season of getting into opponents’ backfields, but the defense may be in for a challenge on Saturday.

Miami faces a Duke offensive line that has excelled blocking in both the running and passing game this season, matching up well with one of the Hurricanes’ biggest strengths.

“I know they’re a smart O-line,” defensive lineman Akheem Mesidor said. “They’re disciplined. They allow the least amount of sacks in the ACC. So we’re just going to have to go out there, play violent, physical and just have to be on our A-game in order to dominate.
