REACTION: Northwestern DOMINATES Penn State. Wildcats are Good!
Northwestern didn’t just beat Penn State, the Wildcats completely dominated the Nittany Lions from start to finish. In this episode, we break down a dominant Northwestern performance that featured an incredible 413 rushing yards, led by Caleb Komolafe and Hyman. Komolafe piled up 188 yards while Hyman added 162, as Northwestern’s offensive line consistently created enormous running lanes and controlled the line of scrimmage But the bigger story may be what this performance tells us about Northwestern. Against Indiana, the Wildcats couldn’t establish their running game, so Aidan Chiles threw for 290 yards and kept Northwestern competitive against one of the country’s best teams. Against Penn State, the opposite happened. The running game was unstoppable, so Northwestern simply kept feeding it. That’s the sign of an adaptable and increasingly complete football team. We also discuss Chip Kelly’s outstanding game plan, Northwestern’s dominant offensive line, a defense that held Penn State to just 48 rushing yards, and why this felt like a signature win for the program, and an incredible way to open the new stadium. The Wildcats look well coached, physical and dangerous. Northwestern might simply be a really good football team.
