Thats kind of going to be interesting. This is where you really start tagging a team as to who they are and how theyre going to respond. Its never a must-win -- you just dont have that until you get toward the end of your season -- but these are times where you must answer the bell.Duke (1-1) has made some big strides in recent years with three straight winning seasons and a division championship. The Blue Devils have made four consecutive bowls and finally won one last year. But after opening with an easy victory over crosstown opponent North Carolina Central, they took one on the chin last week with a 24-14 loss to Wake Forest.At least Duke has a victory this season.Northwestern is searching for its first win after opening with a one-point loss to MAC favorite Western Michigan and falling 9-7 at home to FCS power Illinois State on a field goal as time expired.

He was all over the field last week against Wake Forest, finishing with 15 stops, recovering a fumble and intercepting a pass.BANGED UPFitzgerald expects star running back Justin Jackson to play after exiting in the fourth quarter last week with a leg injury. Jackson, however, was less certain.Ill be doing everything I can to play on Saturday, he said.Jackson, the Big Tens second-leading rusher a year ago, ran for 42 yards last week after going for 124 in the opener.GOOD ON THE ROADThis is Dukes road opener, and the Blue Devils have won 13 of their last 16 road games since 2013 -- the most among ACC programs in that time span, and trailing only Ohio State (15) among teams from the five power conferences.DUKES STARTA win for the Blue Devils would give them at least a 2-1 start in each of the last five years. Thats something Duke hasnt done since 1960-66.ON LINEFitzgerald hinted at possible changes on the offensive line after a rough showing against Illinois State . Northwestern got outgained 372 yards to 277, managed just 16 first downs to Illinois States 25 and converted 5 of 18 third downs. Clayton Thorson also got sacked three times and completed 17 of 41 passes for 191 yards. ' ' '
