Northwestern is better than Duke. Case closed.

There’s a lot to love about college football—outstanding plays, heartbreaking upsets, student sections decked out in school colors screaming louder than the entire stadium combined.

But the beauty of brutal, cunning pre-game trash talking is unmatched, no matter the extent of the rivalry. I’m here to deliver all the trash talk I can, but it’s going to be difficult considering the minimal threat that Duke football poses this upcoming Saturday.

I’ll begin with impartial football statistics. Stats never lie.

In last year’s matchup, NU won. The year before that, NU won again. I could go through the last 21 years of outcomes, but that would entail eight more sentences just like that which could get repetitive.
