Episode 644: Week 1 Preview

This game couldn't have been more a NU-Iowa game if it tried. It was a smash mouth, hard-hitting defensive struggle and the Cats were without Aiden Chiles. Now, we need to shake this one off as we head to a house of horrors in Columbus where the Cats haven't won since 1971. But with the Buckeyes reeling after a massive loss to Oregon, pretty much dropping them out of playoff contention, why can't we go shock the world?

It was a beautiful early fall afternoon at Ryan Field as the Cats kept rolling with a 45-14 drubbing of Ball St. Now Northwestern finds itself in the Top 25 and hits the road to East Lansing to take on MSU and all the off-the-field drama that comes with it.

Words just can't do proper justice to the majesty of the opening of New Ryan Field. The stadium was incredible, the crowd was electric and the team was utterly dominant in their 34-13 drubbing of Penn St.

Woah baby! What a way to start the season! There is so much to talk about coming out of this game from the resurgent offense from Aiden Chiles and the 3 Headed monster at running back to the outstanding play of the defensive backfield checking in with 13 passes broken up. Tonight we'll get into all that and more as we recap the Cats' 34-18 win over the Jackrabbits.
