*** The Official Northwestern Wildcats Game Discussion Thread ***

Beck's offense is just fine. We have the plays and the playmakers to make this offense work.

Total Offense - we're 10th in the country

Passing Yards Per Completion - we're 6th in the country

Rushing Offense - we're 5th in the country

Scoring Offense - we're 12th in the country

We HAVE the plays, we HAVE the playmakers. Beck's offense works.

What we lack, at the most inopportune times, is consistency. Kenny Bell doesn't drop passes - unless it's a critical time. Tommy Armstrong doesn't miss a wide-open receiver - unless it's a critical time. Ameer doesn't get tackled for no gain - unless it's a critical time.

What this team seems unable to do is rise to the moment. It takes them forever to get out of their own way - and as good as Beck's offense is, that's how bad his preparation is.

Everything works. Year Seven, we're still battling the demon between our own ears more than anything. And that's what sucks.
How does it look with only MSU and NW? We've padded the stats with our early games...
No different than any other team in the country. Our schedule isn't remarkably better or worse than the average.
