Every remaining game is the most important one, and Northwestern is a particularly formidable opponent. My friend is a near billionaire, having started an ad serving company when the internet was just in its infancy. This is the caliber of graduate Northwestern produces. Mike Greenberg of ESPN is another prominent graduate. The Sullivan Family has donated over a billion dollars to finance a new stadium and an exceptional Fieldhouse. Academically, they are one notch below Harvard.
These days, they have a pretty good football team, aided in part by the best facilities money can buy, and significant NIL support. I watched them absolutely destroy Penn State on the ground, so the thought of their running game going up against our defense is scary. Aiden Chiles is a dual threat, with strong running skills, a strong arm, and excellent decision making. On the year, he’s thrown for 1,398 yards and 9 touchdowns with no interceptions, which is pretty phenomenal. He sports an impressive 70.5% completion %, which is phenomenal, and is one of the better passers in college football. He is the biggest reason Northwestern sports a 5-1 record, destroying nearly everyone they played, though losing to Indiana, and beating MSU in a close game. He is complemented by a very strong running game. They destroyed Penn State on the ground with Caleb Komolafe rushing for 188 yards and Joseph Himan adding 162 yards rushing. Griffin Wilde is their best receiver and he has 482 receiving yards on 30 catches.
Their defense is allowing a stingy 17 points per game, and is led by #33 Braydon Brus, who has 52 tackles and 3 sacks on the season.
As formidable as Northwestern is, Rutgers has a fighting chance. Korey Duff Jr. is having a phenomenal All American caliber season. Dyzier Carter broke out against Maryland with an 88 receiving yard effort. If Antwan Raymond is banged up, Clay Thevinin will step up and give the running game a boost. Our prospects mostly depend on Dylan Lonergans right shoulder. He has a great game, then we’ll have a great chance. If he struggles we will struggle.
Defense won’t stop anyone so we’ll have to score.
