And to make it even harder on ourselves, whenever we run wide we always run to the boundary side.
Game thread for Duke vs. Northwestern

Duke just looks more athletic and more powerful on the line of scrimmage which is surprising
Get it to Gordon. Should have gotten it to him in the red zone.

We are outplaying them! Peddle to the metal and Porter up the middle too! Play action working too!
Also the FS1 announcer Devin Gardner is clearly rooting for Duke, so annoying.
That lucky tip could be the deal breaker. We had the momentum and could’ve been poised to get the ball back for a go ahead TD. Instead they’re suddenly in position to make it a 2 score game which will be really difficult to make up in 13 minutes without some (multiple) lucky breaks of our own.
They have an analytics team making these sort of calls. Obviously Fitz gut is the end all/be all but those calls come from upstairs usually
We’re on pace to give up less than 500 yards yet again! JON’s really improved since last year.
It never makes sense to go for two until the endgame is known. Exception is when you’re down 24 in the second half.
Missing two is a huge loss of momentum. Fitz generally has a great sense — and generally motivates his players and instills confidence — but this is one time where he should’ve taken the points.
That last Duke TD was an incomplete pass. Ball was juggled and did not gain possession until feet were out of the Ned zone. FItz should have challenged.
