Three matchups to watch against Howard
The ‘Cats put forth a valiant effort on Saturday, sticking with Penn State for the first half and heading into the locker room tied 10-10. Things unraveled from there, but if a moral victory ever existed, it’s this one. Nobody expected Northwestern to be able to contain the Tigers’ rushing attack. Nobody expected the ‘Cats’ frisky special teams play to give them an advantage. There were positives to carry forward, and the even better news is, theoretically, this week’s matchup is very winnable.
