Duke defensive end RJ Oben stopped Northwestern’s Malk Washington for a 2-yard loss on a first down run, which led to the Wildcats punting. But Duke stopped Northwestern on a fourth-and-3 play from the Blue Devils 32 to halt one drive.

Northwestern attempted a 2-point conversion but the pass was intercepted by Duke’s Brandon Johnson. The Wildcats topped Nebraska, 31-28, in a Big Ten game played in Dublin, Ireland, on Aug.

CHI-TOWN TAKEDOWN: Duke football holds on late for dramatic ... (Duke Chronicle)

A quick start, clutch interception and dramatic final stand helped propel Duke to a 31-23 victory against Northwestern Saturday at Ryan Field.

With passes of 81, 51 and 25 and rushes of 42 and 16 yards, the explosive plays were the key for the Blue Devils. Following a penalty in the first quarter, it was Waters who wasted no time taking advantage of the extra yardage and steamrolled the Northwestern defense for a 42-yard score to put the Blue Devils up by 14 in the first quarter. With the momentum momentarily turned, a methodical Northwestern drive was ended by redshirt junior captain DeWayne Carter, who forced a Hilinski fumble and gave possession right back to the Blue Devils. But ahead of it all was Hull, who found paths to the line to gain and some off of checkdowns and screens. The initial lead was built when the Blue Devils came out of the gates fast yet again, first securing a stop and then cruising 77 yards in under three minutes. A fumble forced by Jaylen Stinson within inches of the goal line was recovered by Duke’s Brandon Johnson to seal the win.

I’m pretty sure Northwestern sold their soul to be a great journalism school, because this is exactly the type of game that makes you question the football gods. The RB had 14 catches for 213 yards and a touchdown, in addition to 65 yards and a touchdown on the ground. This was true on Saturday, as the Wildcats lost to Duke in the final moments after star RB Evan Hull fumbled on the one yard line as he jumped to get into the endzone.

One other thing that I brought to the offensive side of the ball is just a mentality. The defense has a great grit mentality, blue collar mentality, so I think bring that to the offensive side of the ball is something I’ve really held my hat on.” Gramstad split the snaps with Fryar in the second half of the game. “Jalyn Gramstad had played defensive back for us and we moved him back to quarterback for the spring,” McCarty said during fall camp in early August.
