Northwestern got rocked 41-14 by Minnesota this past week.

There aren’t many positives to take away from this one as Minnesota ran for over 300 yards and the Wildcats offense was once again held in check.

This team lacks playmakers on both sides of the ball and it’s starting to show in Big Ten play. Northwestern was a team that was never taken for granted as long as Pat Fitzgerald was at the helm, but things look to be headed in a different direction now.
