DURHAM — With the first quarter winding down, the patchwork seal broke.
Then a Lake Michigan-sized rush of water flowed into the boat that is Northwestern football.
Then the boat sunk.
The patchwork seal was a secondary that featured Kyle Queiro as an outside cornerback with Jared McGee and Godwin Igwebuike lurking in their traditional safety spots, with JR Pace filling in on passing downs and bumping Igwebuike down to the slot.
Those plans didn't last long, thanks to some controversy.
With Duke deep in Northwestern territory, McGee shot over to his left, breaking up a Daniel Jones pass that eventually fell in the hands of Igwebuike running the other way.
