Observations From Duke’s Loss to No. 23 Northwestern

Duke had their first opportunity for a statement win Saturday, but the offense turned in a performance that can only be described as pathetic. The defense continued their strong season, but it wasnt enough to overcome three turnovers and a stagnant offense that brought out some boo birds in Wallace Wade on Throwback Day.

Key Observations

The offensive performance today was a real head scratcher. Duke managed just 150 passing yards and only tallied 3 points after the scoring drive on their second possession of the game. Was it playcalling, decision making, or simply outstanding defense by the Wildcats?
