    <description>Saturday&amp;#39;s final regular-season home game against Duke will be laced with emotion for the University of Miami&amp;#39;s senior class.&amp;lt;p/&amp;gt;   For Duke quarterback Thaddeus Lewis, his final homecoming also has plenty of meaning. It&amp;#39;s his last chance to beat the hometown school that didn&amp;#39;t recruit him, and it&amp;#39;s a must-win for the banged-up Blue Devils (5-5, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who have to win their final two games to keep their hopes alive of reaching a bowl game for the first time since 1995.
