Part 11/15:
This game is more than just another matchup; it’s a test of Penn State’s resilience, depth, and adjustments. The Wildcats are disciplined and efficient, capable of controlling the clock and exploiting Penn State’s recent struggles against the run. Northwestern’s offensive line ranks highly in run blocking and pass protection, and their balanced attack could test Penn State’s defense, especially if the Nittany Lions continue to struggle against mobile quarterbacks and disciplined teams.
Key Players for Northwestern
Preston Stone, quarterback who can extend plays with his legs and has shown some inconsistencies but is dangerous when used creatively.
Griffin Wild, the main target with 25 receptions and 375 yards, a reliable go-to receiver.
