The final installment of our 2019 summer guide is the Know Your Opponent series. We’ll take you through Northwestern’s fall schedule week-by-week, outlining the strengths and weaknesses of each opponent and identifying some key players to look out for. The series serves as a way for us to evaluate and take stock of the team’s upcoming opponents.
Up first is Stanford, who you’ll remember from 2015, when Clayton Thorson debuted as the Wildcats’ starting quarterback. NU grinded out a big 16-6 win, setting the tone for a ten win season.
