What I saw from Stanford against Northwestern was talented Stanford players operating as less than the sum of their individual parts and Northwestern players operating as greater than the sum of their individual parts. Northwestern didn’t make as many plays as Stanford, but were more crisp in their execution and more consistent in their performance in general.
I'm very curious what part of the NW team you thought was better than the sum of their individual parts? Like, their completely anemic offense, or their defense that is led by a senior LB expected to be a first round pick this year (which, frankly, I think looked worse in Run D than I expected)?
Maybe you don't realize how good Northwestern's defense is, but it's almost definitely better than $Cs.

I'm guessing we have four, and two of them will be playing :)
Parkinson is on every list I've seen of top 100 draft picks (ie first three rounds).
