Every Sunday after a Northwestern win or loss, we'll be handing out player grades as a way to analyze the Wildcats' performance from an individual perspective. Rather than rush out the grades on Saturday, we'll sleep on them, and wake up Sunday ready to accurately evaluate NU's players, coaches and opponents.
Today, after Northwestern's upset of Stanford, it's all players:
Offense
Clayton Thorson
Grade: B+
Stats: 12/24, 105 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT; 8 carries, 68 yards, 1 TD
I don't want to ruin all the fun with this grade.
