NU’s strong suit is their D. They could give IU and QB Rourke some looks and difficulty, just like MD did in the first half yesterday. Will need to take what’s there and not try to force things. Punt if we must because…
NU’s O and QBs are a rough watch. Their number 1 RB has also missed time with injury too. If our D keeps playing like they have, it should set up IU with some short fields. I’m sure NU’s new OC will see what Charlotte did on counters,
misdirections and screens with some success to try and negate IU’s pressure. IU D will need to stay disciplined and keep things in front of them because nothing I’ve seen from the little I’ve watched of the ‘Cats offense has shown they can go over the top for big plays.
