Welcome back to the film room. The Wildcats had last week off on a bye week, and they decided to shake things up to try and jumpstart an offense that had not scored double digits in the month of October. Junior Ryan Hilinski, who had started all six games so far for Northwestern, was benched for sophomore Brendan Sullivan, a three-star, pro-style quarterback from Davidson, Mich. While Sullivan played against Wisconsin, he made his first official start against the Maryland Terrapins. Let’s take a look at Sullivan’s good, and some of his rookie moments.

The Numbers

Sullivan finished his first game 18-for-24 for 143 yards, one touchdowns, and two interceptions.
