Thanks for the link. Of note:

"Through Week 1, Northwestern ranks in the nation's top 25 in terms of third-down conversion rate and total defense."

It is nice to read an article about how Northwestern won the game instead of how Stanford lost it.

Also of note- more press / man coverage. Yes!

And he also mentions a focus on mixing up the looks on 3rd down. Think we've always tried to do that but seemed like there were more blitzes mixed in last week. Only thing I didn't love was the 3 man rush on the last drive, but overall I thought it was an awesome defensive game plan.

As a participant in the 3rd down stand and scream-fest, I am glad to see we were effective on 3rd downs. I was hoarse until Tuesday
