Last week, the Wildcats opened their 2024 season with a relatively strong performance in a 13-6 win over MAC foe Miami (OH). Northwestern averaged 4.8 yards per carry and held the RedHawks to just 40 rushing yards in a game controlled by the “Cats” lines on both sides of the ball.

This week, Northwestern faces an even tougher opponent when the Duke Blue Devils come to Evanston. Under new head coach Manny Diaz, the Wildcats’ ACC opponent looked strong on both sides of the ball last week in a 26-3 win over Elon. Both teams boast talented transfer quarterbacks and stifling defenses, and as if that wasn’t enough drama, this contest is a standalone night game on the shores of Lake Michigan.
