This week’s blogger interview features Zach Pereles, one of the authors of SB Nation’s InsideNU. Zach already has gone through a transitive Purdue loss this year with a loss at home to Illinois State, so he is a tad wary of Purdue in advance this weekend:
T-Mill: Northwestern is a hard team to figure this year. They lost to Illinois State but nearly upset Ohio State in the 'shoe. What gives?
Zach: The biggest thing to point to would be the offensive line play. The guys up front formed one of the worst units in the nation, giving up 15 sacks and having little success running the ball through the first month.
