*** Official Northwestern Game Thread ***

Definitely some early concerns but it’s always tough to play a Power5 Team week 1 (or week 0 in this case).

I may be wrong but I truly don’t think NW can match us score for score. Need to stifle them and get some good field position back.

Yep. I'm a "Run the Damn Ball Guy" but if you see that your O-line can't even get you 1 or 2 yards, you have to adjust and lean into what is working.

If I'm Whipple stick with your passing game, mix in some screens, and maybe in the 2nd half dial up some zone-reads instead of just basic inside zone. That depends on what they're seeing from Northwestern's edge players.

Classic we do our system let you make a mistake play here 

 
The best hope for any life of a running game me thinks is on the edges.  That means you put Rahmir in the backfield, he's also the best threat catching the ball of the RBs as well
