    Game thread for Northwestern @ No. 21 Duke

    NU’s O Line has literally been beat every single offensive play today. This is scary.

    Well, Bryant...

    Good question

    Well, Bryant...

    Yes - NU is now only a 6pt favorite against UTEP at home next week. Absolutely embarrassing.

    NU seniors look to go out with historic 12th win

    Between Buie, Audige, Beran, and Verhoeven….can any come back for the extra COVID year?

    Please feel free to speculate

    I think Fitz has been waiting for Pitt to play today to rehire DC Pitt, Randy Bates. He was a solid LB coach at NU and has done relatively well at Pitt.

    Still crickets?

    I wonder if Pat considers Randy Bates at Pitt. Bares is ex-NU, has done a decent job at Pitt, and we know Fitz loves to hire friends. And Pitt played today so, if so, we’d likely hear soon.

    Luke Hunger

    Is he eligible for a medical redshirt? In football you can if it’s less than 4 games. Not sure the Bball limit. Would be nice for him to still have 4 years of eligibility left.

    Evan Hull has played his last game for NU

    Serious question. Is that the NFL or a competent Power5 offense?

    Gragg (an new Pres) should seize the opportunity..but they won't

    100% agree. I’d have a lot of respect for an AD willing to fire Fitz and bring in a new regime!

    Firings: What should happen vs. what will happen

    1) Fitz, Bajakian, and Onieal. NU will never fire Fitz though. Pat Ryan loves him and is okay with a 7-29 record (2019, 2021, 2022) as long as NU graduates it’s players. It’s frustrating as a fan. 2) Unfortunately I don’t think anyone gets fired.

    Game thread for The Hat Game

    I’m just waiting for Fitz to talk about how thankful he is for the seniors and turnovers and how that was the reason they lost (which is BS).

    Game thread for The Hat Game

    100% COACHES. NU’s recruiting has been middle of the road in the Big10 the last 10+ years. I’m sick and tired of hearing people blame players and talent. It’s on coaching to develop players. Why do none of the 4star players perform at NU and a 5 star QB doesn’t plan out?

    Game thread for The Hat Game

    NU is 7-29 in 2019, 2021, and 2022. Offense and Defense is a joke and needs a total overhaul. Not just new coordinators, new schemes, need to participate in NIL and I wouldn’t be against moving on from Fitz. It’s not popular but he’s way too comfortable. He had only fired 1 coach (McCall) in...

    And who knows who will / won’t transfer. This is as hopeless as I’ve been about NU football since the 80s.

    Defense wasn't the problem today.

    Can Mitchell was pretty good but AOC missed a wide open Purdue WR when NU slipped in the third and Purdue had several drops. It wasn’t the worst defense today but the wind was a factor. When we look back at all of NU’s “better defensive performances” you’ll notice a lot of rainy and windy days.
