Northwestern may rank 126th nationally in total offense, but NU linebackers coach Barrett Ruud notices something that all offenses could benefit from. That is, the Wildcats are patient.
"A lot of times the most disciplined team on the field is going to be the most successful one," Ruud said. "They are as good as any team in the country in terms of not beating themselves."
Inside linebacker Will Honas said the Huskers don't know which Northwestern quarterback they'll see Saturday. Both Aidan Smith and Hunter Johnson have played this season, and Johnson was knocked out of the Wisconsin game last week.
