Ryan and I aren’t exactly optimistic.
Ryan and I are back to take a look at the Week 9 game against the Northwestern Wildcats. Northwestern surprised a lot of folks last year when they won 8 games under interim head coach…checks notes…David Braun. The defense powered the Wildcats to the surprising season and it doesn’t look like they are going to be slowing down anytime soon. Sure, they lost some folks via the portal, but didn’t everyone?
After taking a look at NU, we put a big giant caveat on this whole thing as we are looking at Purdue’s week 9 opponent with 2 weeks to go before the season even starts. Things could change rapidly and often between now and then. We reserve the right to make any changes to these predictions going forward. All those caveats though, where do Ryan and I think the team will sit after their first 8 games of the season? It’s not great. Do you agree or disagree? Let us know in the comments.
