Minnesota Football: RoWINg to Northwestern - Opponent Preview

The Minnesota Golden Gophers (6-3) look to extend their winning streak to three games when the Northwestern Wildcats (1-8) visit Huntington Stadium on Saturday.

Can Northwestern score on offense?

After Mick McCall departed Northwestern following the 2019 season, concluding a 12-year tenure as offensive coordinator for the Wildcats, head coach Pat Fitzgerald hired Boston College’s Mike Bajakian to lead his offense. His three-year tenure has been less than stellar, punctuated by poor quarterback play, with the lone exception of Indiana transfer Peyton Ramsey in 2020.

Since Ramsey graduated, it has been a revolving door under center.
