No. 23 Duke (5-1, 2-0 ACC) at Virginia Tech (3-4, 1-2)

Lane Stadium, Blacksburg, Va., 3:30 p.m., ESPNU

Can Duke’s offense find any momentum against a “Power 5” opponent? Expect a steady diet of quarterback runs, as that has been a weak link in the otherwise strong Hokies’ defense. Neither team is known for its scoring prowess this year, so something in the range of 10-14 points could be enough for a win.

Virginia (2-4, 1-1 ACC) at North Carolina (5-1, 2-0)

Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill, 3:30 p.m., Fox Sports Carolinas

North Carolina did what good teams do against inferior competition last weekend when the Tar Heels dismantled Wake Forest. Now the challenge is to follow that up against another downtrodden program. A victory against Virginia would give North Carolina its best start since 1997.
