Folks, we are mere hours from kickoff. Football is so close that we can almost taste it. Like they do every year, our staff members will put their reputations (kind of) on the line with weekly predictions in 2019. We’ll keep track throughout the season, with the winner getting bragging rights. NU opens against Stanford today. Here’s how we see it shaking out:
Noah Coffman: Stanford 23, Northwestern 21
Both of these teams have strong defenses and plenty of question marks on offense. I see this one quickly becoming a rock fight, with each team fighting for every inch of field position.
