Although the start of 2016 for Northwestern can unquestionably be considered a disaster, the rest of the season isn’t getting cancelled. There are still 10 more games to be played. The Wildcats have already dropped what were supposed to be two of their easier games this year, but even with the team playing as poorly as it is right now, there are still several beatable opponents left on the schedule.
One of those teams is Duke, Northwestern’s Week Three opponent for a second consecutive year. The Wildcats took care of the Blue Devils in Durham last season and get David Cutcliffe’s squad at home on Saturday, although Ryan Field hasn’t exactly been a safe haven through two games.
