The Northwestern Wildcats (1-0) welcome the Duke Blue Devils (1-0) on Friday at Lanny and Sharon Martin Athletics Facility as college football action continues into Week 2.
Both Duke and Northwestern secured victories last week, though neither team delivered an overly convincing performance.
The Blue Devils maintained control throughout their game against FCS opponent Elon, turning a 10-0 halftime advantage into a 19-0 cushion by the fourth quarter, eventually cruising to a 26-3 win. While the result was clear, the performance lacked spark.
On the other hand, the Wildcats found themselves in a tight battle with Miami (OH), only breaking through with a third-quarter touchdown, narrowly edging out a 13-6 victory.

Northwestern Wildcats vs Duke Blue Devils team news & key players
Northwestern Wildcats team news
The Wildcats are determined to show that their 2023 success wasn’t just a stroke of luck by aiming for another bowl game in 2024. Their 13-6 opening win over Miami (OH) was a step in the right direction, even if it lacked conviction. Playing in their temporary lakeside stadium, Northwestern has plenty of room for growth after Week 1, especially in the passing game.
With Mike Wright taking over at quarterback after transferring in, he managed only 178 yards through the air. Wide receiver depth remains a concern, as Bryce Kirtz was the only player to top 35 receiving yards. Against stronger opposition, this could become a real issue. However, Wright’s mobility was a bright spot—he led the team with 95 rushing yards and a touchdown.
An offensive line returning three starters helped Northwestern rack up 150 rushing yards overall. While Wright and Cam Porter can create opportunities on the ground, the question remains whether the passing attack can evolve enough to prevent defenses from stacking the box.
On the defensive side, Northwestern looked solid, building on last year’s performance. They forced two turnovers and held the Redhawks to just 40 rushing yards, continuing their strong defensive efforts.
Duke Blue Devils team news
In one outing, Maalik Murphy threw for 291 yards (averaging 291.0 per game), with two touchdowns, one interception, and completed 65% of his passes.
In the air attack, Eli Pancol scored once, pulling in seven receptions for 81 yards (81.0 per game). Meanwhile, Jordan Moore collected seven catches, amassing 112 yards (112.0 per game) without finding the end zone.
On the ground, Jaquez Moore managed 24 yards (24.0 per game) and punched in a touchdown.
