Nate Williams is a former Northwestern linebacker, a former leadership council member, and an avid follower of Wildcat football ever since his playing days ended. In 2013, Williams began providing analysis of NU football to give us and our readers a perspective that nobody else on our current staff can provide.
For a second straight week, Williams looks at some glaring issues for NU in an ugly loss:
The Wildcats put themselves through the wringer for the second week in a row. The defense came out reasonably strong through one quarter of play, but did not seem to have enough gas in the tank to hold the Hawkeyes at bay from a sputtering offense full of turnovers, poor field position and drive killing drops.
