I like the Bucks in this one as well. Keep grinding the ball w/ Pittman (I think Young from Iowa had about 200 yds. on the ground) and then throw over the top to our receivers against NW atrocious secondary.
The D won't give up too much, IMO because the seniors won't let it happen on their senior day with revenge on their mind.
Go Bucks!!!

Northwestern is #25 in the AP poll. So at least it will be advertised on ABC as a game between two ranked teams. That's always good when trying to get voters to move you up, even one spot. Being #26 just shows up as unranked...where as #10 vs. #25 looks a lot more impressive, even though it really isn't. We need every vote we can get from the coach's and harris poll. And two straight wins agasint top 25 teams will likely gain us some votes, and I would also assume take votes away from Notre Dame. Every vote counts in the BCS, and it looks like we could end up being very close to getting that #6 spot if we win out.
Plus, it's also a lot more fun to play a ranked team.

Our offense will come out and move at will on a very horrid NW defense. Our defense will step up for their last home game, and will not give up as much as many are thinking...
Paybacks a bitch...

It's the last home game for our Seniors! The team will be very focus for this one. The defense will be stout. The offense should be lights out. We get our first 1000 yard rusher since that #13 guy. Revenge will be very sweet!

N'Western has 8 sacks in 9 games (that's my contribution for the game preview). Troy should have all kinds of time to sit back and pass against a porous defense.
This one isn't getting as much press as the Iowa game, but I'd assume the guys will be revved up for payback.

Motivation should certainly be on our side:
1. Still in the hunt for the Big 10 championship
2. Last home game for seniors
3. Payback for last year
4. Ranked team coming in
5. Last regular season game - Michigan season is a week away.
