The Northwestern Wildcats looked entirely lost. Until they didn’t.
They had absolutely no shot to compete in the second half against Duke in Durham. Until they did.
They couldn’t even put a single point up on a Duke defense that had allowed 31 and 17 to Charlotte and North Carolina A&T, respectively. Until they could.
Simply put, it was one of the worst games Northwestern had played in the Pat Fitzgerald era. Until it wasn’t.
The “until” point, of course, was the moment that Pat Fitzgerald benched struggling starting QB Hunter Johnson and replaced him with veteran backup Andrew Marty.
