Football Behind Enemy Lines: Northwestern Wildcats Football Edition
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Seems like a typo in the article about who the starting QB will be
“Braun has already picked a starter and won’t announce it before the game, but I would be shocked if it’s not Braun”
So who is the starter ??

A good interview and I learned a little bit about the team (other than what we've all heard about the scandal/firing).
After reading this, I really don't understand why there's a Rutgers fan on this board who doesn't think RU will this one. Granted, there were problems last year and a lot of frustration directed squarely at Schiano. But, if we're talking about players, performance, and experience, RU has the advantage in just about every category.
A "tight game" .. maybe. But, only until our offense is adequately warmed-up (mid-way through the 3rd quarter), where we pull away and never look back. I think this is a great game for our team to start the season with and will give us something to build off of over the next few games.

Oh my Sweet Summer Child...
Northwestern offensive players have been well-trained in breaking arm tackles via extensive car wash training however.
Some are trolls being ********
Some hate Schiano so much they hope for a loss to get rid of him.
Some are naturally pessimistic
Some look at the offense for the last few years and say "Show me!"
To me, if you look at their OL which was mediocre last year and has lost a 1st Rd. NFL draft pick and a few more starters going up against RUs truly Big 10 quality D my thought is "It may be low scoring but it will be a win."
I've thought it was somewhat even before the stuff happened at NW but after that I thought we should win. If we don't, I think it'll be a harbinger for a long season.
I haven't come across a prediction from the pundits that show us losing this game either.
Some have spent 40+ years being let down and are starting to catch on. ; )
The RU Screw is a real thing.
