Duke over Northwestern
Northwestern got some hype heading into the season. Coming off a solid 7-6 record and Pinstripe Bowl victory in 2016, some thought Pat Fitzgerald’s squad might give Wisconsin a run for its money in the Big Ten West. After Saturday, that seems a little less likely.
The Wildcats were on the road, but losing 41-17 to Duke isn’t a good look. Even after the football program’s improvement in recent years, the Blue Devils are still one of the least-notable teams in the Power Five. After a scare in Week 1 against Nevada (and with a date at Camp Randall Stadium looming) it’s time for Fitzgerald to go back to the drawing board. Forget about winning the Big Ten West, Northwestern may struggle to even compete in the division.
