A W is a W but...

The Wildcats snuck by Duke 24-20, with critical defensive stops in the red zone making the difference in the game. Click here for the HTP recap of the game, which as usual is better than the MSM version.

The offense had a poor day, failing to establish the running game and then struggling with the air game. Duke piled up yards and dominated the time of possession, putting the Cats defense in tough spots; but the D came up with the big stops when needed. Overall, the game was exciting at the end, albeit the WGN radio broadcast is a poor substitute for TV.

Next up is the Salukis....and the Duke results did not inspire confidence going into game #3.
