Northwestern's defense is bad. We all know this. But I can't get last year's game off my mind this week.
I'm certain they have watched the Minnesota game and saw how some misdirection stuff can get yards on our defense. Northwestern has, in my mind, the smartest QB in the conference. He has good skills as a QB, but that is enhanced by his ability to process information quickly and make the right decisions just as fast. Northwestern will score a few times this Saturday. I'm certain of it.
Our defense should be rested after not having much of a challenge this past week. I'm sure their egos are still bruised from the trip to Evanston last year. They are going to play with absolute reckless abandon. And its going to bite them in the ass a few times. As long as they play assignment defense, they will do well in stopping Walker's spread offense.
I see Pittman crushing the 1000 yard mark and Marcel Frost becoming a huge factor in the passing game this week, giving Carr yet one more person to worry about next week.
