Last time: Duke 20, Northwestern 24. David Cutcliffe’s first season as the head coach at Duke got off to an exciting start. A Thad Lewis 16 yard touchdown run gave Duke the lead early in the fourth quarter, but the defense couldn’t hold. Northwestern immediately drove down the field and took the lead for good on a short touchdown run. With about 90 seconds left, Duke had what they thought was a game winning touchdown pass on fourth down from Thad Lewis to running back Clifford Harris.
