The Duke Blue Devils will open up the bulk of their conference slate against Georgia Tech (1-3, 0-1 ACC) this weekend.

Currently sitting at 4-0, the Blue Devils are in a great spot at the top of the ACC standings and face a favorable stretch ahead. Head coach Manny Diaz and his staff are on track to overachieve again this season, but road games in league play are tough to walk out of unscathed.

The Yellow Jackets have lost all three of their games against Power Conference opponents this season (Tennessee, Colorado, and Stanford), but Duke will need to continue to execute to walk out with a victory.

This is Duke's first road test in league play and its second road game of the 2026 season. The Blue Devils defeated Illinois in Champaign in their second bout of the year.

It seems inclement weather may affect Atlanta around game time, but no delays have been announced at the time of this article being written.

Duke vs. Georgia Tech Preview

Georgia Tech's only win this season was a 44-11 win over Mercer. Aside from the Blue Devils' win on the road over Illinois, they have defeated Tulane, Stanford, and William & Mary by a combined score of 114-17.

Expect star sophomore running back Nate Sheppard to lead the offensive charge for Duke. The Yellow Jackets have allowed the most rushing yards per game (189.0) of any team in the ACC. However, Brent Key has a talented running back of his own, as Justice Haynes currently ranks second in the ACC in rushing yards per game (98.3) and sixth in total rushing yards (393).

The Blue Devils should walk out of Atlanta with a victory, but league games on the road are never easy. Additionally, the potential impending weather could present a new challenge for both programs this weekend.
