Hats off to Northwestern
Northwestern can drag any team in football into the trash pile. Might not win but you'll still be mad that you were in the trash pile

I’ll admit it. I thought Ohio State was going to run away with this game. It’s not that I don’t believe in the coaching of Pat Fitzgerald, or think there aren’t good players wearing the shade of purple, I just really believed the skill in Columbus would eventually create mismatches and win the day.
That never really happened on the outside and in space. Instead, where the game was won, was at the point of attack and when the coaching staff finally realized Trey Sermon was about to shoot laser beams out of his caboose and leap tall buildings in a single bound.
The reality is that Northwestern’s defense is the real deal. Those kids play like crazy, rally around each other, and are fantastic football players. In other words, Chicago’s Big Ten team is leaps and bounds better than the one in Ann Arbor.
