Every week during football season, we'll be presenting reasons why Northwestern will or won't come away from its Saturday game victorious. It's not so much an argument for or against either result as it is envisioning the scenarios in which the Wildcats come away from the game with a win or a loss.
This week, Northwestern takes the field against a Duke team led by David Cutcliffe. Cutcliffe is entering his 10th season at the helm and is looking to turn around a team that went 4-8 last season. Northwestern was okay in its opener against Nevada, but will need to play better if it wants to notch a road win in Durham.
