Saturday taking on Northwestern in their
first opponent ever in the Big Ten.
Last week the Huskies were upset by
their state rival Washington State Cougars
24-19. In a rival game like the Apple Cup
is there really an upset at anytime. The
Cougars did show they still got it even
though they are not playing in a major
conference this year.
The Huskies on the other hand have
a new head coach and many new players
learning to play together especially on
the offense. None of the players started
last year for the Huskies. Now we have
to see whether learned anything being
defeated by the Cougars. They did show
they need to execute better on offense
especially late in the game.
Northwestern beat Eastern Illinois in
a non-conference last Saturday 31-7.
They showed have some offense to
go against the Huskies. Just like
Washington they have a 2-1 record
heading into conference play.
Northwestern had an overall record
last year of 8-5 and 5-4 in the Big Ten
Conference. They are being led by
quarterback Jack Lauch this year
as a redshirt sophomore. They have
a couple transfers on the offensive
line. Cam Porter returns as Northwestern
starting running back.
On defense they have four defensive lineman,
two linebackers and five defensive backs.
We will have to see if Huskies quarterback
Will Rogers can execute better this week
against Northwestern. After a loss especially
a rival it is always interesting to see how
things go. We wish the Huskies the best
and a turn around in this game. Go Dawgs!
