The AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! Duke rolled over Temple 30-0 last week in coach Mike Elko’s debut — the Blue Devils’ first shutout since 2015 and their first against a Bowl Subdivision opponent since beating rival North Carolina 41-0 on the road in 1989 under Steve Spurrier. Moore is the backup quarterback but Northwestern: QB Ryan Hilinski threw for 314 yards and two touchdowns without getting picked off in the opener, a promising start for a player who was part of a mix at the position that struggled last season. FACTS & FIGURES Duke has won three straight in the series since Northwestern’s victory at Ryan Field in 2016.. Duke QB Riley Leonard completed his first 15 passes in the opener — his second career start.. Elko’s arrival marks the first time since the 1942-43 season that the Blue Devils had a new football and men’s basketball coach at the same time. Former Duke men’s basketball player and assistant Jon Scheyer is taking over this year for retired Hall of Famer Mike Krzyzewski.. Northwestern, which first fielded a team in 1892, had never played outside the United States until the opener against Nebraska in Ireland..
