player ready...TV/radio:
2:30 p.m. Saturday; BTN, WVMP-AM 1000, WNUR-FM 89.3.
Line:
None.
Records:
South Dakota 1-1; Northwestern 3-0.
Last meeting:
Northwestern won 47-2 on Oct. 1, 1927 in Evanston.
ON THE OFFENSIVE:
The Coyotes allow 276 rushing yards per game, so look for Northwestern to bash them on the ground. Backups Tyris Jones and Treyvon Green could get a heavy load.
GETTING DEFENSIVE:
Northwestern will keep tabs on receiver Terrance Terry, a Barrington High School alum who attended NU games as a kid. He has a team-high 10 catches, two for touchdowns.
THE NUMBER:
16. The Wildcats are among 16 FBS teams yet to throw an interception.
THE TALK:
Given that South Dakota is a mid-level FCS team, NU would love to give young players such as defensive lineman Ifeadi Odenigbo, safety Traveon Henry and quarterback Zack Oliver a long look.
TEDDY GREENSTEIN’S PICK:
Coach Pat Fitzgerald insists his team won’t treat this game like a quasi-off week.
NU 37, South Dakota 10.
