Let’s face it: from a Northwestern side of things, there’s little to want to remember about the Wildcats’ 56-7 drubbing in Lincoln against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on October 2. In their first taste of Big Ten West action, the Wildcats looked totally outmatched and were outclassed in a showing that Pat Fitzgerald will want to forget forever.
On the offensive side of the ball, NU posted just one touchdown: a 28-yard pass from Ryan Hilinski to Stephon Robinson Jr. in the first quarter. Given that the ‘Cats scored just one time — a number that’s disappointingly low, even against a stingy Husker defense — you may be wondering if there’s anything that can be remotely gleaned from this game on offense.
