It wasn't pretty, but Northwestern is 3-0
In what was a very ugly game, Northwestern somehow left Durham still undefeated. Clayton Thorson threw two ugly interceptions-- one that set up Duke's first touchdown and one that killed what was looking like a pretty solid drive-- and Justin Jackson was pretty effectively bottled up for much of the game. But Northwestern broke two big plays-- one on special teams and one on offense--and the defense was absolutely outstanding.
Leading up to this game, one of the biggest questions was how Northwestern would deal with Duke's team speed. The answer: fantastically on defense, not so well on offense.
