Why Northwestern Will/Won’t Beat Duke

Hunter Johnson plays well and turns the ball over fewer times than Duke’s QB

QB go far, team go far. If Hunter Johnson puts together a quality performance in Durham on Saturday, it will be hard for this Duke team, one that failed to best non-conferece opponent Charlotte, to beat Northwestern.

So what does a quality performance look like? Ideally, one where Johnson does not throw an interception or lose a fumble. It also entails that he consistently throwing the ball vertically — particularly to Stephon Robinson Jr. and Bryce Kirtz — with conviction and accuracy.
