Wildcat Preview and Prediction
The Lowes Line: Minnesota
NU Falls to Duke
The 'Cats continued to show flashes of solid play, but ultimately lost 38-14 to #21 Duke on the road.
NU went into the locker trailing by only ten at halftime and showed
fighting effort. However, the Blue Devils' talent proved too much in
the decisive third quarter, during which Duke crafted two long drives
to put the game out of reach.
The 'Cats return to Ryan Field this week for a night game against a
surprisingly vulnerable Minnesota team, and the game could be the most
critical pivot point for Coach Braun's team. Win, and the 'Cats are
.500 for both Big Ten and overall play; lose, and it looks like the
season will be just as tough as anticipated in August.
