The final installment of our 2019 summer guide is the Know Your Opponent series. We’ll take you through Northwestern’s fall schedule week-by-week, outlining the strengths and weaknesses of each opponent and identifying some key players to look out for. The series serves as a way for us to evaluate and take stock of the team’s upcoming opponents.
Next up is Purdue. The Wildcats last faced off against the Boilermakers when they traveled to West Lafayette last August. Former Northwestern running back Jeremy Larkin stepped into the shoes of Justin Jackson and Clayton Thorson (kind of) returned after tearing his ACL in December.
