Out with Player Grades and in with Three up, Three down, Inside NU's newest postgame evaluation. Rather than handing out grades to the different contributors, we'll give you three players whose stock went up and three players whose performances were disappointing. Here's the report from Week 2.

Tyler Lancaster

Northwestern was straight up beaten in the trenches on both sides of the ball on Saturday. Its offensive line was poor, allowing four sacks and generating no push in the quickly-abandoned running game. On defense, the pass rush was once again almost nonexistent (at least Joe Gaziano got the first sack of the year), but that was not the fault of Lancaster.
