I'd say:
I don't expect to see any radical playcalling on either side of the ball. But if NU can just play fundamentally sound and win this game with their base offense and defense, it will give me some hope that, when busting out the entire playbook, they have a shot at winning in Madison.
- Cover the 21 point spread
- 200+ rushing yards with good YPC
- Thorson cuts down INTs and sacks that are his fault
- Defensive pressure: more sacks and TFLs
- Consistency from special teams
