Defensive tackle A.J. Wolf and the Blue Devils will look to shut down running back Justin Jackson for four quarters Saturday, something Duke could not do when the teams met in 2015. 

Ahead of Duke's Saturday tilt at Northwestern, The Chronicle's Jack Dolgin and Sam Turken break down the biggest storylines for both teams. The Blue Devils are coming off a 24-14 loss to Wake Forest and the Wildcats have lost home games to Western Michigan and Illinois State, meaning both teams desperately need a win with conference play just around the corner. 

Duke is seeking revenge after falling to Northwestern 19-10 in 2015, and hopes its offensive line can bounce back in a hostile environment after struggling to contain the Demon Deacons.
