Northwestern is worst in the conference vs the pass.
Total defense is 11th.
The plain Jane stats are skewed both ways by multiple OT games.
The advanced stats say we are very close in overall quality. We have a better defense, they a better offense.
If Croft and his ragtag band of receivers (looking at you 86 and 80) can convert I think we win this game. NW is not a great team. We are trending up.
