Welcome back to the film room. For the first time since I started writing this piece last season, I can finally say it is a victorious film review. After nearly 700 days, Northwestern had won a game on American Soil, thrashing the UTEP Miners, 38-7. Furthermore, it was the offensive performance the Wildcats needed after their abysmal showing in Piscataway to kick off the season.
NU had nearly 400 yards of total offense, including 184 on the ground. It was all about the ground game this week for the ‘Cats after putting up just one rushing yard before the last two minutes of their season opener.
