THREE THINGS TO KNOW:
-
Evan Hull leads Division-I with 681 yards from scrimmage this season. Hull joins Saquon Barkley (2017) as the only players since 2000 to record 350+ rushing yards and 300+ receiving yards in their teams first four games.
- This marks the Wildcats first true road game of the season, having played a neutral site game in Dublin, Ireland in Week 0 followed by three-straight non-conference games at Ryan Field. The last time Northwestern opened its season with four- straight non-road games was 2016, when the Wildcats played their first four games of the year at Ryan Field (going 2-2 in that stretch).
- Northwestern is 5-14 all-time against Penn State and 2-1 in their past three meetings. The last meeting came in 2017 at Ryan Field, when Saquon Barkley tallied 108 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns for the Nittany Lions, while Justin Jackson led the 'Cats with 99 all purpose yards. Two meetings ago in 2015, Justin Jackson exploded for 188 rushing yards and two touchdowns to lead the 'Cats to a 23-21 victory.
