zoogs Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Two solid, not spectacular, not Top-25 teams teeing off this weekend. Build on last week and take care of business, Huskers. Quote Link to comment
GOAT Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Sure would be nice to get a few impressive confidence-gaining wins headed into the matchup with Sparty. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I wouldn't plan on being able to run up the score on these guys. NW has played us tough 3 of the 4 years we've been in the B1G. This includes a couple games that weren't supposed to be close. Except for last year's 21 point blowout the game has been decided by 3 points or less each time. Including our Hail Mary win and miracle 4th qtr comeback. Lest you forget how close these guys have played us: Quote Link to comment
BaytownHusker Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 When we beat these guys, Handle Purdue and Upset Sparty are we a top 20-25 team? Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 When we beat these guys, Handle Purdue and Upset Sparty are we a top 20-25 team? If we upset Sparty? Sure! Especially considering how close our losses have been. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 When we beat these guys, Handle Purdue and Upset Sparty are we a top 20-25 team? Nope. There were only five four-loss teams in the FINAL AP Top 25 last year. There are currently only two TWO loss teams. Northwestern beat a Top 10 team and their only two losses are to Top 15 teams and they're barely even getting any votes. Quote Link to comment
BaytownHusker Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Are we wearing the ALTS this week as well? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Are we wearing the ALTS this week as well? Yep Quote Link to comment
Swiv3D Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Are we wearing the ALTS this week as well? Yep do you think the fan base should try to wear black this week? I know the student section probably will but I know in the past when we tried to wear black, most of the rest of the stadium couldn't get themselves to wear anything other than red (not that i have a problem with preserving the sea of red).

LumberJackSker Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I would love nothing more than to see this defense hold a qb to less than 300 yards passing Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Listening to coach Banker this week, he mentions the Northwestern Defense having great speed at the rush end and outside linebacker positions. Do you guys think that favors power inside runs and screen passes, as opposed to jet sweep/motion/outside runs? Tommy could also have less time in the pocket Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I think we can cover- book it! Better check the wind report first tho... Weather Report: High in the mid 60s, wind 12MPH from the North/NW. So yeah, if we've got a good wind there...expect 50+ passing attempts 30 or more yards downfield. Especially if we're going into the wind. Quote Link to comment
