If you could sum up Northwestern’s offense with one video, Ben Skowronek captured it.

During Saturday’s match-up with Duke, the receiver was trotting out of bounds when he reached a paved area inside the stadium. Despite slowing down and carefully stepping, Skowronek stumbled to his backside in front of a home crowd.

It was the perfect scene for the Wildcats offense, which has been a giant blunder through the first 10 quarters of the season. At halftime of the contest, Northwestern and Duke were knotted at 7-7.
