Northwestern Wildcats
The Northwestern Wildcats are coming off a bye and a 23-20 win against the Howard Bison,though they nearly blew a 16-point lead and failed to cover. In Week 5, Northwestern suffered a heavy 41-13 defeat at the #6 Penn State Nittany Lions. In that game, junior signal-caller Brendan Sullivan made his first start of the season and led the way for Northwestern, completing 13 of his 18 passing attempts for 131 yards and a couple of touchdowns, and racking up 155 total yards. He filled in for senior Ben Bryant, who suffered an upper-body injury in Week 5 and is questionable to play against Nebraska. The Wildcats need more from their ground game; they average just 3.1 yards per carry and 103.0 rushing yards per game, while allowing an average of 28.80 points to be scored against them per game.
