After years of Big Ten mediocrity under Pat Fitzgerald, the Wildcats looked rejuvenated under Braun. Yet, Northwestern held the RedHawks to a 39% Success Rate and -0.19 EPA per Play en route to just two field goals. Gabbert was sacked three times and threw two picks. This makes sense. Northwestern returned eight starters from last year’s bend-don’t-break crew, so the Wildcats have enough experience to overwhelm a far less talented team.
Their offensive line is the least experienced in the ACC, with only 37 career starts, which doesn’t bode well against a Wildcat defensive line that returned seven of its top eight rotation guys from last year.
