Here’s our weekly stock report following NU’s 31-21 defeat at the hands of No. 4 Notre Dame.
Three up:
The freshman rose to the occasion for the third week in a row. Bowser tallied 93 yards against a top-15 rushing defense, including explosive carries of 14 and 20 yards. His trademark power running style carried over against a fearsome Notre Dame front seven; Bowser carried Jerry Tillery (6-foot-6, 305 pounds) five yards downfield on one carry. If anything, Bowser is consistent, which is all NU can ask for from its running backs at this point in the season.
