On a beautiful night in Evanston, the Northwestern Wildcats used a suffocating second-half defense, timely turnovers and multiple long touchdowns to defeat the Duke Blue Devils 24-13.
The Wildcats came out of the gates strong, going 75 yards on 10 plays on their opening drive. The drive featured solid blocking from the much-maligned offensive line and finished with a 26-yard strike from Clayton Thorson to Garrett Dickerson.
This is more like it!
Right, @NUFBFamily fans?
