Northwestern vs. Iowa

THE GOOD: Big Ten West champions. Northwestern did it. They clinched the Big Ten West. They've played hard all season and have achieved one of their biggest goals. This is a huge step in the right direction for them program, but they still have to continue to perform well to continue achieving their goals.
THE BAD: Clayton Thorson. Thorson struggled to make plays down field for most of the game. He held onto the ball too long sometimes and struggled to be accurate when hitting receivers for big plays. He will need to find consistency if Northwestern wants to achieve their goals.
THE UGLY: Receivers. Flynn Nagel is the only Northwestern receiver who can consistently get separation from defenders. Now that defenses are focusing on him, the rest of Northwestern's receivers cannot seem to get open. This has greatly hindered the passing game, and needs to be corrected by running different route concepts to scheme receivers open or giving new guys a chance to play.
