The Nebraska Cornhuskers face a Northwestern Wildcats team coming off of a two game losing streak. The Wildcats started the season with five straight wins, and their defense was one of the best in the country. However, their tenacity dipped over the last two weeks, causing the Wildcats to lose back to back games by a wide margin.
Overall, the Wildcats are giving up 16.1 points per game this season. However, opponents outscored Northwestern 78-10 over the last two games. They’ve been hit with an early onslaught, and haven’t been able to recover. Will they have what it takes to match up with an inconsistent Nebraska offense?
