Three up and three down from Northwestern’s season-opening 31-27 win over Purdue

It’s time for the return of our weekly postgame stock report. We’ll give you three things that looked good each week, and three that didn’t. Here’s our assessment after a season-opening win at Purdue:

Stock up:

Larkin was excellent last night. He opened the game with a touchdown on the first drive, and then he ripped off a huge 46-yard run on the next drive.

That nasty open-field cut look familiar to anyone?

Northwestern’s offensive line struggled a bit in the second half, but Larkin displayed a knack for smart, patient running.
