Northwestern Week Pressers

I forgot that he was the QB for Indiana when they beat NU last year.  Ramsey is probably an improvement over NW's past QB's, but from what I saw against Iowa, I wasn't blown away.


Iowa does have a very good pass defense pretty much every year, I think Ramsey is underrated by most. I think the Iowa game was a combination of a good defense and very limited weapons. He's not a game-breaker or anything, but he's hyper-efficient and has enough mobility to make some things happen. He's like a Joe Ganz for me.

I don't think he can quite carry them though, Bajakian needs to find his RBs. Anderson might work as the lightning, but they need more than 3.2 YPC from their lead back. And that's not just Iowa, Maryland held Bowser to 3.0 YPC on 20+ attempts. 

 
I don't see Manning's jersey...  :ahhhhhhhh

EDIT:  I'm thinking it's just they didn't want the duplicate numbers messing up their shot. I assume Tannor/McCaffrey/etc are traveling, and not just Martinez/Bootle. But that freaked me out for a minute!

Northwestern's got that fancy new lakefront training center, and the lockers still look like that?
Guessing the home lockers look a bit nicer... In the day of transfers you would think some teams would start trying to impress the visitors though.

That's in their crappy Ryan Field, not the new lakefront training center.  I am not sure how much investment NW has done in Ryan Field, which is on the opposite side of the campus (1.5 miles from the training center).  Plus, schools aren't going to invest $ into the opposing locker room.
