[Duke's] good - they're not SEC good.
Duke's got some great special-teamers too, Crowder and Edwards. They'll have to make some big plays for them.
And Boone and Crowder too, can make some plays against an A&M defense...that still has some glaring weaknesses

It seems only fitting that college football will ring in the new year with what figures to be Aggies quarterback Johnny Manziel's final college game. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner was nearly as good as he was last season, throwing for 3,732 yards with 33 touchdowns and running for 686 yards with eight TDs in 2013. Texas A&M's defense is bad enough -- and Duke's offense is good enough -- to possibly turn this game into a shootout. The Blue Devils won the ACC's Coastal Division for the first time and are playing in bowl games in back-to-back seasons for the first time in school history.
