The Music City Bowl is right around the corner! In just about two days, Northwestern will be playing Kentucky in Nashville.
Why Northwestern will beat Kentucky
Northwestern’s running backs and offensive line are better than Kentucky’s defensive front
Kentucky’s defensive efforts have essentially been subpar since September. According to the Wildcats’ advanced stat profile, the defense has not put together a performance better than the 40th percentile in its last seven games. To translate, Kentucky hasn’t been better than average for most of the season (Northwestern has 6 above average performances in that time, all in the 77th percentile or greater).
