Northwestern opens its season week one at Purdue...both teams have QBs who will be recovering from knee surgery.
Northwestern has a non-con game November 3 hosting Notre Dame.
We get NW here after they play WI/ND/at IA; we will be coming off a stretch of IN, @IL, Purdue.
NW crossovers are MI, @MSU, @RU.
NW non-cons are ND, Duke, Akron.
We have advantage over them in non-con, crossovers, prior weeks games when we go head-to-head, and gentle start to season. TCF is advantage.
Purdue has Mizzou, BC and EMU on its non-con slate.
Crossovers are OSU, @MSU, @IN.
We get Purdue here after they face OSU, @MSU, @Kinnick; we will be coming off a stretch of @NE, IN, @IL.
We have advantage over them in non-con, crossovers, prior weeks games when we go head-to-head, and gentle start to season. TCF is advantage.
Maryland has Texas at Redskins stadium to open the year.
Other non-con are @BG, Temple.
Play the East slate with crossovers us, @Kinnick, Illini.
We play them week 5, after both us and them have a bye-week.
We have advantage over them in non-con, Big Ten opponents. Their place wasn't exactly an inhospitable environment in 2016. MD just lost their good OC.
Indiana has @FIU, VA, and Ball State for non-con.
Plays the tough East slate and gets IA, Purdue and @us in crossovers.
We host them after we play IA, @OSU, @Lincoln; they will be coming off @Columbus, IA, Nittany Lions.
We have advantage over them in non-con, Big Ten opponents, at TCF.
We should be able to win these four; finish with better overall record than these four.
Plus, we should repeat the two Big Ten wins of 2017, NE and IL, again.
Frost may not be going all year zero in 2018, but tough seeing them turning-around a team we annihalated that quickly.
Should be able to sweep three non-con.
We matched up well with Iowa in 2017 in Kinnick at night. Would be good win here.
At Madison and Columbus will be challenges.
Iowa gets Northern Illinois, Cyclones, and UNI for non-con.
Iowa has @IN, MD, @PSU for crossovers.
Iowa plays its non-con sked, hosts Bucky, gets a bye, then comes up here.
Bucky does have a tough crossover draw: @Ann Arbor, @Happy Valley, Rutgers. Is @Iowa, @NW.
Could be a year where they end up 6-3 and 7-2 would win the West.
Non-con for Bucky is WKU, NM, BYU.
