Maalik Murphy leads Duke to wild 26-20 victory over Northwestern in 2OT

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! EVANSTON, Ill. — Maalik Murphy threw two quick touchdown passes in overtime, hitting Jordan Moore on a 25-yard pass and Eli Pancol on a 3-yarder to lead Duke to a 26-20 victory over Northwestern at temporary Lanny and Sharon Martin Stadium on Friday night. Mike Wright’s desperation fourth-down heave to Frank Covey IV in the end zone failed to connect in the second OT and Duke beat the Wildcats for a sixth straight time dating to 2016, giving new coach Manny Diaz a second win. Jack Olsen’s second field goal, a 35-yarder, snapped a tie with 11:39 left in fourth quarter and put Northwestern ahead 13-10. Olsen cleanly hit his third kick with the wind at his back in the second game and the first at night in Northwestern’s intimate 12,023-seat temporary stadium hugging the Lake Michigan shoreline.
