wrap things up here with Jake but let's run through a couple games tomorrow in the Big 10 interesting one for Northwestern taking out of Duke team that has had their number Manny Diaz new head coach for Duke he's familiar with the Wildcats from his time at Penn State what will it take for northwester to win well both teams Duke and Northwestern were led by their defense week one that's what you expect with Manny Diaz as a head coach so I I expect this to be a low-scoring close game what will it take they need to tap into that power that they've tapped into every time they've been in a close game they're one of the best teams they're seven and2 in their last nine in games decided by eight or fewer points like football becomes a self-fulfilling you just start to believe you can win these close battles it's going to be a close one once again this week they got to lean into that belief Duke had eight sacks and 16 tackles for loss that's many I mean that's what they do they're downhill they're aggressive course is worried about that o line this is a huge Proving Ground for them uh Indiana has Western Illinois Western Illinois has lost 25 straight games so I'm not sure this is a great test for the hooers so what can you learn in a game like this well Indiana brought in more transfers than anyone in the conference right so this is just going to be about Indiana at this point and and Kirk cetti has certainly been very vocal about his expectations for this roster so this is about them another opportunity for all these guys to get a game rep to play together and to put on tape who they want to be for the rest of the year I really like this early season schedule for them because for exactly the reason you're talking about like it just helps to get a lot of guys through to figure out what you got and then they head to UCLA next week which feels like I don't want to play for Signet if he's if you're losing yeah bet he's fun to play for when you're winning but he's got some juice he looks a little pained on the sideline when they were winning on Saturday I can only imagine when they're losing we'll see you tomorrow
