I know NU has a game this weekend, but being real, who hasn’t looked ahead? I don’t know how good they are. They don’t have elite recruiting classes, but I’d put them in that next tier, mostly 8-15 range. They are well coached, don’t usually make mistakes to beat themselves, and play hard nosed football. I don’t look at them and say, gee, may as well just call off the game because NU has no shot. NU needs a good start, don’t get behind early, and run and hit, hard. Absolutely can’t turn the ball over, not even one time in this game. Probably will need to be +2-3 in turnovers to have a real shot. Have to convert the opportunities they do get. Have to make them go the field to score, so the kicking game for NU will be critical. Maybe a trick play, or two. Can’t just line up right now, so they’ve gotta get creative, and try to create some things. It will be interesting to see what the coaches try to do.
I‘d rather play Michigan than Ohio State or Georgia. Not even close. Play your ass off, don’t turn the ball over, keep the penalties to a minimum, and you’ll probably be in this game come the 4th Q. At this point, that’s all I can honestly ask for. They aren’t unbeatable.
