No. 5 Miami will still have some challenges going into this game they still have a major injury out with Damari Brown.

He has been out since the first game of the season. With a secondary that has struggled to get things done this season, he was a bright spot for the first snaps of the season.

The rest of the roster will consistently be the same. Damien Martinez has started to find his way back to the top of the depth chart as he has started to find his feet in the offensive scheme. The two-back dynamic will be key for this game as Duke has a strong secondary that could cause Heisman-hopeful quarterback Cam Ward to now have another explosive game.
