Real or fake rivalry? Regardless of how football fans feel about, Northwestern and Duke are continuing their annual meeting on the gridiron this season.
On Friday, Sept. 6, the Wildcats will host the Blue Devils for the teams’ 45th matchup. Northwestern better prepare to defends its home. Duke has won five straight meetings, hardly struggling in any of the victories.
But a new season brings new players and new coaches. Manny Diaz enters his first year at Duke after spending two seasons at Penn State. It’s his first head coaching job, and the pressure is there after the Blue Devils produced two quality seasons under Mike Elko.
The Wildcats have a high ceiling in 2024 after a 8-5 record in David Braun’s first year at the helm, which included a bowl win over Utah. If Braun can continue that momentum into this season, Northwestern will put up at catfight against their non-conference rivals.
