Former UCLA coaches have produced a competitive Northwestern offense

A pair of former UCLA staff members have elevated the Northwestern attack this autumn, generating 32.7 points per game through their initial three contests. Chip Kelly oversees the playcalling as offensive coordinator, while Jerry Neuheisel handles quarterback coaching duties after arriving during the recent hiring cycle under head coach David Braun.

The Wildcats stand at two wins and one loss, highlighted by a narrow 29-23 defeat against Indiana where the squad accumulated 325 yards and narrowed the deficit to two points late in the final period following a sluggish start. Kelly previously held the top job in Los Angeles for six seasons before stops elsewhere, whereas Neuheisel spent several years with the program culminating in an interim coordinator stint.
