Make their QB beat you

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.

NW is going to have a serious issue with stopping our run game. Kamara presents a big matchup issue for them, as does Dobbs.

NW is about a half step up from Missouri and Vandy when measured by schedule-adjusted O and D:

Code:

Team    O   D
NW     109  4
Vandy  116 19
Mizzou 121 15

We've already played defenses ranked 1st (Alabama), 5th (Florida), 12th (Oklahoma), 15th (Missouri), and 19th (Vandy). This will be the 6th game against a top 20 defense, which is pretty nuts when you think about it.

FWIW, we averaged 219 yards on the ground and rushed for 9 TDs in those previous 5 games. So I'm inclined to agree with you-- we're going to run the ball on these guys despite that lofty D rank.
