Maybe Mick McCall and Pat Fitzgerald are up to something.
Maybe, just maybe, there’s a reason for the seemingly incoherent play-calling. Maybe there’s a full explanation as to why Northwestern has struggled to get any sort of passing offense going all season long. Maybe there’s a reason as to why, while the defense has been stingy throughout, the Wildcats still sit at 1-6, dead last in the Big Ten, averaging just one touchdown per game vs. Power 5 teams.
Could it be an attempt to mimic our professional neighbors to the south?
Okay, well, obviously not.
