Notes and Thoughts:

• The third down defensive alignment with the top 3 DEs and no DT made several more appearances. I’m not sure what to make of it given Northwestern had several big plays on third and long, but I love the creativity.
• Harrison Wallace is badly missed. KeAndre Lambert-Smith had 64 snaps, but beyond him, no other receiver had more than 33.
• Dominic DeLuca appeared in 30 snaps this week, the third most of any LB. Glad to see his solid play get rewarded with more playing time.
• Beau Pribula appeared on only one snap, his fewest of the season.
• Trey Potts looked great! This game was his first playing time outside of garbage time all season, and he made the most of it with two TDs.
