  11/07/20 - Peyton Ramsey, rSr/2021, Northwestern, 6-2, 215 (DS#15 QB) + More +

  Peyton Ramsey shook off two interceptions to throw for two touchdowns in the second half, and Northwestern hung on to beat Nebraska 21-13 Saturday after Luke McCaffrey's last-second pass to Wan'Dale Robinson in the end zone fell incomplete. Seven of the previous nine meetings since Nebraska joined the Big Ten in 2011 were decided by seven points or fewer. Six were within a field goal. This was the fourth in a row to come down to the final play of regulation or go to overtime. Nebraska took over at its 8 with 2:14 remaining after Northwestern punted and had a fourth down at the 14 when McCaffrey was unable to connect with Robinson.

The Wildcats (3-0, 3-0 Big Ten) got the ball back with a second left and took a knee to cap yet another tight game with the Cornhuskers (0-2, 0-2). Ramsey threw a 2-yard touchdown to John Raine in the third and a 10-yarder to Riley Lees early in the fourth, making it 21-13. Chris Bergin intercepted Luke McCaffrey near the goal line with about six minutes remaining to preserve the lead. The Wildcats remained unbeaten in their best start since they won their first five games in 2015. They also improved to 3-0 in Big Ten play for the first time since 2000. Ramsey, a graduate transfer from Indiana, settled down after getting intercepted twice by redshirt freshman Myles Farmer in the second quarter. He completed 16 of 27 passes for 169 yards. - AP College Football

  Jesse Brown scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 2-yard run in the third quarter, and Northwestern erased an early 17-point deficit to beat Iowa 21-20 on Saturday. The Wildcats outscored the Hawkeyes 21-3 after the first quarter, eating up clock and keeping Iowa's offense out of rhythm. Ramsey helped create that momentum, throwing for 130 yards on 11-of-18 passing and running for 26. Isaiah Bowser had 25 carries for 85 yards for the Wildcats (2-0). Spencer Petras threw all three of his interceptions in the second half, the last one on a tipped ball that linebacker Blake Gallagher picked off, allowing Northwestern to go into victory formation. Iowa's 17-0 first-quarter lead came after Northwestern gifted the Hawkeyes (0-2) with two turnovers - a muffed punt inside the 5-yard line and a fumble near midfield. Kyric McGowan scored on a 3-yard run and Brown scored from the 1 to pull the Wildcats within 20-14. Iowa punted three times, had three passes intercepted and turned the ball over on downs on seven second-half possessions that netted a total of 104 yards. - AP College Football

  10/27/20 - Peyton Ramsey, rSr/2021, Northwestern, 6-2, 215 (DS#15 QB) + More +

  One of the reasons the Wildcats struggled last year (3-9 overall, 1-8 in the Big Ten) was because they couldn't find a quarterback. Hunter Johnson, a transfer from Clemson, was destined to be a star, but got beat out by T.J. Green. who was injured in the first game after completing 6 of his first 10 passes. Johnson's star never shined, completing 50 of 108 passes last year with one touchdown and four interceptions. Peyton Ramsey entered the picture this season, a graduate transfer from Indiana. If Saturday's 43-3 win over Maryland is any indication, it looks like Northwestern found a winner. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder completed 23 of 30 passes for 212 yards on Saturday with one TD. He also rushed for 47 yards and another TD. "Really proud of his performance today," Fitzgerald said after the game. Ramsey was a team captain at Indiana last year and completed 204 of 300 passes for 2,454 yards with 13 touchdowns with just five interceptions. He also started all 12 games for the Hoosiers in 2018, passing for 2,875 yards and 19 TDs. - The Gazette

  10/24/20 - Peyton Ramsey, rSr/2021, Northwestern, 6-2, 215 (DS#15 QB) + More +

  Peyton Ramsey threw for 212 yards in his Northwestern debut, Drake Anderson ran for 103 and the Wildcats gave coach Pat Fitzgerald his 100th victory, pounding Maryland 43-3 on Saturday night. Northwestern raced to a 30-3 halftime lead and racked up 537 total yards. It was just the sort of start the Wildcats were seeking after going from playing for the conference championship in 2018 to finishing last in the Big Ten West. Ramsey, a graduate transfer from Indiana, looked comfortable in his new surroundings. He completed 23 of 30 passes and scrambled for a first-quarter touchdown - a promising start for a quarterback who helped lead the Hoosiers to their first eight-win season since 1993 last year.

Anderson had a 37-yard TD run. A.J. Hampton helped set up a touchdown with an interception. Charlie Kuhbander kicked three field goals. And Fitzgerald, by far Northwestern’s winningest coach, got a milestone win to open his 16th season. Maryland opted to start Alabama transfer Taulia Tagovailoa at quarterback over redshirt freshman Lance LeGendre. And he struggled in a big way. Tagovailoa was 14 for 25 for 94 yards and three interceptions. And the Terrapins opened coach Mike Locksley’s second season on a familiar note after losing nine of their final 10 games in 2019. - Northwestern/AP College Football

  10/20/20 - Samdup Miller, rSr/2022, Northwestern, 6-3, 270 (DS#999 DE) + More +

  When Northwestern takes the field next Saturday against Maryland, they will be short a couple of key pieces. In a team statement released Friday, it was announced that senior defensive end Samdup Miller, senior quarterback Aidan Smith, senior safety Travis Whillock and redshirt sophomore tight end Jason Whittaker were all opting out of the 2020 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Miller is certainly the Cats' most experienced player to opt out with 35 career starts entering this season - the most of any returner coming into this season. But NU has the competitive depth to replace him. In a press conference last week, defensive coordinator Mike Hankitz said he's been impressed with senior defensive end Earnest Brown IV and sophomore Eku Leota, who have both shown promise when given the opportunity. - The Daily Northwestern

  Senior linebackers Blake Gallagher, Paddy Fisher and Chris Bergin have spent their entire NU careers playing together. They're the stalwarts of the defense, and last year combined for 127 solo tackles and 17 tackles for loss. "That bond that we've built over these past couple of years is huge, especially in a weird year like this," Gallagher said. "We're kind of all on the same page. We've been out there, we've had the experience with each other, we kind of know what each other's gonna do. We can play off of each other."

The trio leads a defense that struggled to make game changing plays. Last year, the Cats compiled just seven interceptions, down from 12 the year prior. After forcing 15 fumbles in 2018, NU recorded just 10 last season. Gallagher said the defense is focusing on recovering those disruptive tendencies. They've found new drills to sharpen their skills and are preaching a hungrier mentality. "Our goal is to be the best defense in the Big Ten," Gallagher said. "We set out goals every year for our linebackers to be the most physical linebacking corps in the Big Ten and that hasn't changed in our time here. That's what we're gonna go out and try to do this year again. Just pride ourselves on stopping the run." - The Daily Northwestern

  Northwestern offensive tackle Rashawn Slater is opting out of the 2020 season and will declare for the 2021 NFL draft. In light of the Big Ten postponing its football season to the spring, Slater chose to forgo his senior season after discussing the matter with coach Pat Fitzgerald, according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports. Slater officially announced his decision Thursday afternoon on social media and thanked his coaches and teammates. "I'm so glad I found my home at Northwestern and will always cherish my time here and the relationships I've been blessed to be part of that I know will carry on," Slater said. "My experience was everything I dreamed of and more. I'm a Wildcat for life." After starting 37 games for the Wildcats at both left and right tackle, Slater leaves Evanston as one of the best offensive lineman in program history. - Daily Northwestern
