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 second edition of Peyton’s Passes!
In its season-opener, Northwestern didn’t need to throw the ball a ton against a weak Maryland front seven. The Wildcats ran 83 plays against the Terps, and Ramsey attempted 30 passes. They were not going to be able to replicate that offensive game plan against a much tougher Iowa defense on a windy day at Kinnick Stadium.
