Northwestern Gamethread


Recommended Posts

I like winning by 17 on the road in the Big 10 while kind of struggling. Man what a season so far. Kids can get healthy. Take the week to catch their breath and focus on what is staring them in the face. Besides Ohio St there won't be a game they won't be favored in. Lord.

Northwestern played well.  Their offensive line is legit, Laush was very good and they made good plays on offense.  Credit to them.  And the setting by the lake is so different, it felt like an advantage for them.  We just pounded a B1G team that played their best.

Who would’ve thought we’d be the first team to 6 wins in the country this season?

Overall an excellent performance from the offense, while the defense struggled a bit. Thought the defense struggled containing their QB, and had a few busted coverages leading to big plays. I also thought that our special teams struggled quite a bit. Gave up a few good returns to NW and the one punt from Evan’s wasn’t very good. Think that directly led to the field position discrepancy throughout the game.

Pretty crazy to say we won by 17 on the road with 2 units not playing their best.

And they were coming off a bye week.

We kind of got the short side of that part of the schedule. UCLA, NW, Nebraska, and Washington all come off bye weeks before playing us. Luckily Nebraska is the toughest game in there, and that’s our bye week as well.
