Every Sunday after a Northwestern win or loss, we'll be handing out player grades as a way to analyze the Wildcats' performance from an individual perspective. Rather than rush out the grades on Saturday, we'll sleep on them, and wake up Sunday ready to accurately evaluate NU's players, coaches and opponents.
This week, the Wildcats were on the wrong end of a 24-13 scoreline, and the grades reflect the poor outcome.
Clayton Thorson: C
24 for 37, 249 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions, four sacks; 10 rushes for 43 yards, one touchdown
Thorson simply has to find a way to cut down on the turnovers, especially in the redzone.
