Peyton’s Passes, Week Eight: Steering the ship in rainy conditions

You’ve seen Thorson’s Throws, Hunter’s Heaves and even Aidan’s Attempts over the past few years on Inside NU, and we’re back again this year to provide you with weekly breakdowns of the play of Wildcat quarterbacks. Without further ado, enjoy the sixth edition of Peyton’s Passes.

No. 14 Northwestern (6-1) rebounded from a disappointing loss to Michigan State (2-5) in Week Six with a decisive slaughter of Illinois (2-5) to keep the HAT.
