In the first seven weeks of the 2016 season, the Northwestern offense has already had a roller coaster season filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. So much so that at times during the Wildcats’ 54-40 win over the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday, it was impossible to believe this was the same offense that mustered just seven points against Illinois State last month.
This offense’s performance week-by-week has been documented and discussed at length with mixed reviews to start the season. But these past two games have shed light on the Northwestern offense.
