The Duke football program found a bit of mojo last weekend on the road.

Amid a two-game skid, the Blue Devils walked out of Charlottesville with a massive 19-16 victory over the Cavaliers. It wasn't a perfect performance by either team, but Duke still snapped its losing streak in a tough road environment. Now 5-2 overall and 2-2 in conference play, the Blue Devils return home to host Boston College (4-3, 2-2), which is riding its own momentum.

This is a winnable game for the Blue Devils, but so were both losses against Georgia Tech and North Carolina. Manny Diaz and his staff still have a clear path to a third straight nine-win campaign, but taking advantage of opportunities at home is crucial going forward.

Here's everything you need to know before the Blue Devils look to make it two straight against the Eagles in Durham.

Duke vs. Boston College Preview

The Blue Devils didn't look extra sharp on the offensive end against UVA, but it seemed like Diaz and Co. elected to go a bit more pass-happy in the second half, which was interesting. Star running back Nate Sheppard only notched 15 carries, his season-low against Power Conference competition. This could be a day for Sheppard to thrive, as the Eagles are allowing over 150 rushing yards per game to their opponents in 2026.

Boston College also likes to run the ball, led by quarterback Mason McKenzie, who has run for over 600 yards this season. The Eagles are coming off wins over Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech, and pose an interesting challenge for the Blue Devils on Saturday afternoon. Duke has two more games before it heads to Coral Gables to face No. 1 Miami, and winning both feels pretty important. After hosting Boston College, the Blue Devils will meet NC State in Raleigh.
