Every week, one of our writers will go back and critically review one or more plays from the past Saturday’s game. These are the plays that, more than any others, were crucial in determining the outcome of the game. We’ll check the film, and breakdown the how and why of those decisive few seconds.
On Saturday, Duke followed a Northwestern touchdown on the opening drive with 21 unanswered points, en route to comfortable 21-7 win. All of Duke’s 21 points came in the second quarter, in large part thanks to quarterback Daniel Jones and his ability to expose Northwestern’s secondary with play-fakes and RPOs.
