Way back in early September, Northwestern football was a mess, top to bottom. It felt like just about every single position group on the roster was struggling.
Since then, and especially during the Wildcats’ two-game, 92-point Big Ten winning streak, things have turned around for almost all of those units.
The offensive line has gotten significantly better. With that, so too has Clayton Thorson, his receivers not named Austin Carr (who was awesome from week one) and the running game. On defense, Ifeadi Odenigbo and the D-line have started racking up sacks and the linebacking corps has turned things around.
