QUARTERBACK

• Mason McKenzie is BC's projected starter

  7.37 Y/A

  Mason McKenzie is BC's projected starting quarterback. Previews from Duke Wire/Yahoo (2026-10-28), CBS Sports (2026-10-28) and Duke Basketball Report/Yahoo (2026-10-29) all call McKenzie Boston College's starting quarterback. He is also BC's leading rusher, with 614 yards and 5 TD. He ran for 170 yards and 2 TD and passed for 101 yards and 1 TD in last week's win at Georgia Tech. None of the opened sources reports an injury or limited practice for him. I could not open a BC release or depth chart confirming him as the starter, so he is listed as projected, not confirmed. 2026 line: 1260 passing yards, 58.5% completions, 7.37 yards per attempt, 7-6 TD-INT over 7 games.

• Walker Eget is DUKE's projected starter

  7.31 Y/A

  Walker Eget is DUKE's projected starting quarterback. Eget is Duke's starter. He hurt his finger on a defender's helmet in the 19-16 win at Virginia on Friday, 2026-10-23, and missed most of the first half. Dan Mahan replaced him. Eget came back in the second half with the finger taped and finished with 211 passing yards and 1 TD. Diaz said it was not an injury per se and that nothing was structurally wrong; the problem was his grip on the ball. At his Monday press conference (2026-10-26), Diaz said Eget 'should be good to go' for Saturday. CBS (2026-10-28) says he is expected to play. None of the opened sources reports his practice participation this week, and he is not on the opened Duke availability lists. He is listed as projected because Duke has not explicitly announced him as the starter. 2026 line: 1440 passing yards, 61.9% completions, 7.31 yards per attempt, 8-3 TD-INT over 7 games.

TURNOVERS

• BC: 1.86 takeaways per game to DUKE's 1

  0.86 TO

  Boston College forces nearly two turnovers a game across 7 games, while Duke forces one. Takeaways are streaky and tend to swing, so BC's rate may cool off. Duke's offense has to be careful with the ball at home against a defense that has been taking it away.

MISMATCH

• DUKE: 236.4 pass yards a game to BC's 180

  236.4 VS 180

  The widest gap between these two is pass yards a game: BC threw for 180 passing yards a game over 7 games; DUKE threw for 236.4 passing yards a game over 7 games this season. Last season BC was at 280.2 over 12 games and DUKE at 285.4 over 14 games.

SITUATIONAL

• DUKE: 236.4 team passing yards per game to BC's 180

  56.4 YPG

TEAM RECORD

• DUKE is 3-1 at home; BC is 1-2 on the road

  3-1

  Duke has won three of four at home, while Boston College is 1-2 on the road. Those samples are four and three games, small enough that a single upset would reshape them. The venue split tilts toward Duke, which supports the home side without settling the matchup on its own.

• ACC game: BC 2-2, DUKE 2-2 in conference

  CONFERENCE

  These two share the ACC. BC is 2-2 against it, DUKE is 2-2. 2026 standings through 2026-10-31.
