00:00Let's look at that battle. It was a late night action on the road in Cal Berkeley. Duke entered that matchup coach as a two and a half point road favorite. Manny Diaz and the crew pull out another victory. Darian Mensah and this offense are playing very well. They're consistent on the defensive side of the ball. They need halftime adjustments. They run away with it.
00:22They won another game by double digits, 45 to 21 over Justin Wilcox and the Cal Bears. Manny Diaz has this team peaking right in the middle point of the season.
00:33Yeah, they're doing really good on both sides of the ball. I really worried. The game really didn't start till 1030 Eastern time out on the West Coast got over.
00:43I guess they would players would think 130. They got behind early, but they came back and then four straight drives for touchdowns and then dominated California.
00:52Crushed their running game and then intercepted three footballs. The freshman, the true freshman quarterback at Cal had three interceptions and they held them to 41 yards rushing.
01:04That's the, that's the way Duke has been playing. They've got an aggressive defense. They did great on offense. They got explode. Menza, when he has a good day, he can do it.
01:12They got a slow start. They came on strong and that's a Cal team that's been playing pretty dang good.
01:18They are. They've ripped off three straight wins in the conference. They're undefeated at three and oh, they do face off in a couple of weeks against Clemson.
01:28They have a potential coach at 13 to one to be a dark horse. They're starting to run the football effectively. They rushed for 178 yards on Saturday night.
01:37Darian Mensah, 265 through the air, two touchdowns, no interceptions. And to your point, forcing turnovers, that could go a long way. It could be a Miami Duke type of ACC championship. And I have to be honest, Duke is playing very well right now that they can go toe to toe with anybody in the ACC right now.
01:57Absolutely. Well, Duke and Duke plays Georgia Tech next and they play Virginia down the road. And that's kind of which one of those teams, I guess you should include Duke along with Virginia and Georgia Tech is that team who's going to get in that dadgum championship game picture.
02:13But the way Duke has been playing, that's four straight that they've won. They're undefeated in the conference at three and oh, four and two open all.
02:21They play, I tell you, when they play good, I think they play real good. And if they can keep that up, be consistent, they got a quarterback that can lead them to victory and really throw the football.
02:31And it's a great, does a great job leading that offense. So again, another one of those teams that's getting stronger and stronger wins in the last four games.
