** 2017 Opponent Previews: Wisconsin (Game 6) **

Northwestern has played Wiscy pretty tough going on the past 4 years now.  

Hornibrook's completion percentage is sitting at 67% for the year.  Before today's game his completion percentage was 70%.

I think we will learn if our defense has improved against a good offense.  Ground and pound type of game coming.  Can we battle for a whole game?  Wisky seems to have really good run game, as usual.

Lets just see where our talent is compared to the best in the West so far.

 
Don't like how we match up against Wisc. Defensively, TBH.

Hornibrook is a QB that seems like he doesn't mind dink'n'dunking his way down field (hence, high comp. %). Our soft coverage will play right into that. Wisc. isn't really a "big play" offense, so our 'bend-but-don't-break' D won't serve us well, unless the the front 7 can continue to be stout against the run; but we are going against a much improved O-line this week; so we will truly see if the front-7 is up to the task in the red-zone.
