Duke's Mayo Bowl Preview
This is a matchup between two teams that started strongly at one point this season. The Terps were 3-0 and 6-2 before losing three straight games. Maryland did finish the regular season with an easy win over Rutgers. NC State was actually ranked No. 10 at one point this season but then they lost quarterback Devin Leary and it was a struggle. The team is on their fourth starting quarterback, Ben Finley. It was Finley who led the team to a win against North Carolina.
NC State is led by linebacker Drake Thomas who had 90 tackles, 15 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks. Maryland is led by Taulia Tagovailoa who threw 17 TD passes and also ran for four scores.
NC State will be playing in a bowl game in their home state for the third time. They have gone to a bowl game eight times in 10 seasons under head coach Dave Doeren. This will be Maryland’s second straight bowl appearance and 29th overall.
Maryland is averaging 29.2 points and putting up 406.8 yards per contest, while they are giving up 24.1 points and allowing 362.2 yards per game. Roman Hemby leads the team with 924 yards, Taulia Tagovailoa has thrown for 2,787 yards, while Jeshaun Jones leads the team with 478 receiving yards.
NC State is averaging 25.3 points per game and putting up 343.5 yards per contest while they are giving up just 19.4 points and allowing only 325.7 yards per game. Jordan Houston leads the team in rushing with 530 yards, Devin Leary threw for 1,265 yards before getting hurt, while Thayer Thomas leads the team with 588 receiving yards.
Duke’s Mayo Bowl Prediction
Neither of these teams has an overwhelming offense and each team is stout defensively so this should be a low scoring game that goes under the total.
Duke's Mayo Bowl Format
After a decade of sponsoring this bowl game, Belk pulled out of the title role at the conclusion of the 2019 edition of this game. That left this bowl looking for a sponsor, and it was announced that Duke’s Mayo would become the new sponsor in the summer of 2020.
This game has always featured an ACC team since it is in the heart of ACC country. From 2002 to 2013, the ACC took on a team from the Big East in Charlotte, but the dissolution of the conference’s football programs led to the Duke’s Mayo Bowl featuring teams from the SEC and ACC between 2014 and 2019.
The ACC will take on a Big Ten team in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl in even-numbered years and an SEC team in odd-numbered years.

Virginia has enjoyed its time in Charlotte. The Cavaliers are 3-0 here, and they won the first two Duke’s Mayo Bowls back when it was known as the Continental Tire Bowl. They were on the right side of the most lopsided shutout in the bowl game’s history when they blanked South Carolina 28-0 in 2018, and their play is a big reason why the ACC has a winning record in this bowl game.
North Carolina’s loss to South Carolina in 2021 means that the ACC is now 10-10 all-time in this bowl game. North Carolina has made it to this game five times and is 1-4 in this bowl game.
