"We've had some barnburners playing each other since I've been at Wake Forest," coach Jim Grobe said, "and I expect that to continue."

In their three meetings since David Cutcliffe took over at Duke, the teams have combined for 10 touchdowns that cover at least 30 yards. Last year's matchup had four TDs of at least 50 yards.

"It's bizarre the way a lot of the points were scored, particularly against us," Cutcliffe said. "From a fan perspective, anybody who doesn't want to go to this game is nuts because you don't know what you're going to see."
