Yes, how well and how fast Shanahan solves the NU front seven is indeed a key factor in this game.

May IU recapture the habit of scoring on their first offensive possession.

I've seen a little bit of two Northwestern games this year, They are a very good Defensive Team and a below average Offensive Team. my concern is that They are the kind of team that can muck up a game and get You to play down to their level, and frustrate You. The big thing to Me is if We get off to a slow start, and the game doesn't have a rhythm to it, We can't get discouraged and panic. If We keep playing our game and follow the game Plan, our talent will take over and We will win.

Yeah, panic and being discouraged does not seem to be part of the makeup of this team. But a real good point, let's see if we can play our game while solving their defense.

I'm not sure why people are saying they are good on D. They're ranked 31st overall, but they've played a weak schedule. For comparison, we are ranked 8th. Our offense is one of the best in the nation, and their offense is really bad. They will need an herculean effort on D just to make this close imo.

It seems to me that OL and DL play has improved each game. I expect Bostad will have his group ready on Sat. And expect the DL to overwhelm NU OL. After a few 3 and outs, IU offense will roll.

I wasn't concerned at all about this being a trap game.

I'm more nervous now though after the player defections. Hope mentally the team will handle it well, along with the somewhat unusual stadium.

After a "good" practice on Wednesday, Coach Cignetti praised the team with a caution. Thursday practice was just "OK" & he had a different talk. I love how Coach keeps his foot down to bring focus back into the conversation.
