The 12-game winning streak Wake Forest has going against Duke is certainly impressive for its longevity. It’s also rather remarkable when considering how close many of the recent games in the series have been. Consider the following:

*Ten of the past 16 contests have been decided by seven points or fewer

*Wake Forest has won six straight home games against the Blue Devils, with five of those six wins coming by 2, 2, 1, 3 and 6 points.

*The 2010 edition was the second-highest scoring game in ACC history, with the two teams combining for 102 points (Wake edged Duke 54-48).

Duke, Wake Forest get linebackers

Charlotte Christian linebacker Kelby Brown has committed to Duke, choosing the Blue Devils over UCLA. 

"It was a tough decision for him," Charlotte Christian coach
Jason Estep said a few minutes ago. "He spent three days out at UCLA last week. But it finally came down to the fact that he was really comfortable at Duke, and with the direction of the program and the coaching staff."
