Northwestern just has an absolutely garbage defense. Especially in the secondary. They have a secondary, they would have handled Herky. They also have the propensity to shoot themselves in the foot with a bad turnover on offense. Again, see last Saturday's Herky game.Yeah, Northwestern is the most perplexing team on our schedule. They started out like gangbusters. But now have lost four games in a row. Starting with the loss to Army a month ago. They played all three B1G games real tough. NW squandered a huge lead to give Illinois the game. And they lead Michigan into the 3rd qtr before crapping the bed in that game. Northwestern seems good for about three quarters, but can't seem to put a whole game together. Hope they don't figure it out before we play them.When Persa is 100%, yes they are. From what I have seen this year, he does not look like the same Dan Persa from last year.Northwestern is better than a 2-4 team, IMO.
Persa is getting back into game shape and you can see Danny Excitement from time to time. However, the back up Kain Colter, that NU was on hard a couple years back, is a gamer and may turn out to be a good one.
