Keys to beating Northwestern

Keys to the Game that we discussed on the show:

* Get after Dan Persa … make him uncomfortable.
    - Very accurate passer … especially when he has time.

* Stuff the run and keep them out of third-and-managable.
    - They are really good on third down, so it's important to not put them in short-yardage situations.

* Hold tight on D in the red zone.
    - Northwestern ranks No. 102 nationally in red zone offense and they miss field goals.
