THE GOOD: Clayton Thorson. Thorson came up big all night long. He made countless big plays to bring life to the Northwestern offense. Whether it was with his legs or his arms, Thorson was driving the offense. He was in command and consistently made big plays. Northwestern will need Thorson to continue playing like this in order to have success.
THE BAD: Receivers. Northwestern's receivers struggled to get separation at times. This is what caused the offense to stall at times, and made life difficult for the rest of the offense. Northwestern will need to rely on their receivers to run crisper routes and make more plays downfield to help the offense reach its full potential.
THE UGLY: Secondary. Northwestern's secondary struggled mightily. They gave the receivers too much cushion and struggled to match their speed downfield. The general youth and inexperience in Northwestern's secondary was on full display. The inability to step and make a big play was a constant in the back end for Northwestern. Northwestern will need someone to come up big and make plays in the future.
