Sorry I didn't get the first-half thread started. I was at my son's playoff game. They lost, unfortunately.
Here are two stats that just about killed Northwestern in the first half:
- Penalties: 7 for 67 yards
- Turnovers: 3 (though the one at the end of the half didn't matter)
With an offense like theirs, they just can't afford mistakes like that.
I also heard Dave Eanet say that Northwestern's has been outscored on points off of turnovers 66-6 this year. Think about that for a while.
