It's game week! Northwestern welcomes Miami (Ohio) to Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium and Zach is joined by Alex Scheer of the MAC Sports Connection podcast to preview the game. The two discuss the Redhawks' 2023 season and how the team was able to win 11 games without starting quarterback Brett Gabbert (3:44). Then, they pivot to this year's Miami team, talking about the vast returning production on defense (9:39) and some key new additions on offense (11:33). The pair hypothesizes what impact the lakeside stadium will have on each side (19:33) and then goes over a few of the Redhawks weaknesses, highlighting where Northwestern may be able to take advantage (26:59). They also name their keys to the game, pointing specifically to which units for each team need to be up to the task. Finally, they make their predictions for the outcome of the season opener for both teams (33:23).
