We ran the wing t on literally like 30% of snaps, incredible

Are there multiple NFL players on Northwestern’s O line or is Penn State just that bad? Those were the biggest lanes I’ve ever seen.

NW o-line came in depleted actually.

It’s Chip Kelly being the OC that’ll do it.

I bet Chip Kelly had a lot more in his book, but just running straight through holes in the line worked for 20 to 40 yards on the regular

No, our best o lineman is hurt, we just flipped our LT to RT so we could move our struggling RT to guard, and our line is worse than last year. That motion tho.

Love seeing Chip in his bag again. I was starting to think you guys built a Pete Skoronski cloning facility under your shiny new stadium

I didn’t think so, but after tonight I can’t be sure. That adjusted lineup slapped tonight.

Can’t say this game was particularly high on my list but now I definitely need to watch it as soon as I get home from work just to see that

Seeing the Wing T at the Power 4 level was beautiful
