Justin Fields is going to sling the ball for over 350 yards
If there’s a strength of this Northwestern team above all others, it’s the passing defense. Not only have the Wildcats picked off the opposition twelve times, but they’re also only giving up 192.0 yards through the air per contest, allowing just seven touchdowns.
It doesn’t matter. Justin Fields is ready for this game and he’s got a bevy of playmakers on the outside to get open against a Northwestern team that’s going to play mostly zone. The big plays won’t be as plentiful, but we’ll see a decent volume of high percentage passes where the wide receiver will shake loose and gobble up yards. It’ll all result in over 350 yards in a spotlight game to set social media ablaze.
