Both teams have injuries, but I think Jordon Thompson is the biggest. With Thompson anchoring the run defense in the middle of the defensive line, Utah has success running the ball and outlasts Northwestern in San Diego.

Putting a dent in Kyle Whittingham’s 92 percent bowl success mark becomes another reason to remember this 2018 Northwestern season.

There is not a doubt in my mind Northwestern wins this game. It won’t be an easy game but Thorson will step up in his final game, methodically picking apart this Ute defense to cap off another successful Northwestern football season.
