Redshirt freshman Andrew Brewer will make his third straight start at quarterback Saturday, coach Pat Fitzgerald said. Northwestern has scored only two touchdowns in its 0-2 Big Ten start. “The majority of the reps have been Andrew’s and I feel good about where that is,” Fitzgerald said when asked about Mike Kafka, who started the first three games but is recovering from a strained hamstring. . . .
Fitzgerald said the Wildcats will practice being more prepared for the second half in games after being outscored 17-0 in the third quarter of both of their Big Ten losses … Starting offensive tackle Dylan Thiry is out with a bruised sternum.
