Looks like Northwestern won't have to resort to the 3rd String walk on afterall.

One week after a concussion?

If I were an NW fan I’d still be nervous.

It looks to me like they might be rushing him back

It doesn’t help that from what I’ve read, NW is painfully thin at QB. Their back-up is a redshirt freshman who has only thrown the ball 7 times, and after that they’ve got a couple true freshman that they were probably trying to redshirt.

soooo...

They’re Penn State’s QB situation behind Persa?

especially if it’s winning against Iowa.

Dear team, thanks for accomplishing nothing.

Suck it, Fitzgerald.

cool. I’m a fan of the front page fanshots.

The offensive line was inspired by McGloin.

He's a good QB and looking to do some damage in front of his hometown crowd...

I’d say by Wednesday, we gotta leave the UM win in the dust and remember that there are a few more games to play.

Hope Persa plays.

I watched him during his HS days and he was special. I think much better than the Gonzalez kid that followed. Though Gonzalez may make it at another position.

I always want to beat an opponent with their best on the field.

I too always want to beat an opponent with their best on the field.

Unfortunately I’m not sure if I’d rather lose to an opponent with their best on the field, or whip the daylights out of their backups.

Nah

With honor, beat the crap out of their best.

yes, but that wasn't an option I gave

I know I’d much rather beat the crap out of their best, but if that isn’t an option, and my 2 choices are:
1) lose to their best
or 2) beat their backups
I don’t honestly know what I’d want, especially since after a few years no one really remembers the specifics and only remembers the W or the L.
