On defense, the Wildcats’ tackling leaders are DB Robert Fitzgerald (17) and LB Mac Uihlein with 13. The Wildcats have made three quarterback sacks and intercepted one pass. Northwestern's defense must step up against a tough Oregon offense; otherwise, the Wildcats will fall behind early and will not be able to make up the deficit against Oregon's tough defense.
Northwestern vs Oregon Pick
Oregon’s offense will overcome the Northwestern defense on enough occasions to move the ball, score, take time off the clock, and keep the Northwestern offense off the field. Final Score Prediction: Oregon Ducks win and cover ATS 41-13.
