Real or fake rivalry? Regardless of what football fans think, Northwestern and Duke will continue their annual meeting on the football field this season.

On Friday, September 6, the Wildcats host the Blue Devils for the 45th meeting between the teams. Northwestern had better prepare to defend its home win. Duke has won five straight meetings and hasn’t struggled in any of the victories.

But a new season brings new players and new coaches. Manny Diaz is entering his first year at Duke after spending two seasons at Penn State. It’s his first head coaching job, and the pressure is on after the Blue Devils put together two good seasons under Mike Elko.

The Wildcats have a great chance for 2024 after an 8-5 record in David Braun’s first year at the helm, including a bowl win over Utah. If Braun can keep that momentum going this season, Northwestern will give its non-conference rivals a tough fight.
