Can you identify anything Northwestern football does well? I just can’t think of anything.

By most accounts, NU team members are all upstanding citizens. Granted, I think they were BEFORE they came to Evanston, but they more or less stay out of trouble and are kids we can be proud of.

And the defense? And the special teams? C’mon rebel - what positives can you pull from this game? I’ll give you that nobody was academically DQ’d for the game. Yea, sportsball team!

To be fair we gain some yards with some regularity but then lose a bunch on a few big negative plays. So if you want to be a glass half empty guy by looking at things overall, or by quarters or halves or entire games or by points scored compared to the opponent, have at it I suppose.

Speed, the answer is speed (among others). Even the announcers noted that Gallagher couldn't keep up covering the party he was to cover. Othr answers are tackling , tackling, and tackling. when watching other teams it seems they're always in the right position, and their plays have some originality and thought behind them, But when our QB has n o time (7 sacks) and no protection. and we can't run the ball so we can't freeze the LB's on a pass, we have trouble in river city, and it ain't a pool table.
