On Tuesday, the BTN bus tour hit Kenosha, Wis., where the BTN crew took in Northwestern practice. With the practice and filming now complete, it?s time for analyst Gerry DiNardo?s post-practice tweets - a feature he?ll provide after all 12 stops across Big Ten country. See all of DiNardo's tweets in this post. Also, don?t forget to catch the debut of the Northwestern Preview Show at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday on BTN/BTN2Go.

BTN Bus Tour #Northwestern -Pretty young secondary-a reason you see things be a little more simple on Def this year Its tough back there

BTN Bus Tour – #Northwestern – Secondary Dugar/VanHoose did some good things – Liked T. Brown back there-example of the quality of the class

BTN Bus Tour – #Northwestern – Front 7 – Run well, decent depth built to stop spread attack – may have to move some vs. downhill attack

BTN Bus Tour #Northwestern -Thought Pat Ward looked really good today – big guy (6'7" 310) who can move – Need other tackle Konopka/B. Smith

BTN Bus Tour – #Northwestern – RsFr. Matt Frazier helps depth in OL – did some good things

BTN Bus Tour – #Northwestern – Wide Receivers looked good as a group. They'll have to be able to block this year as well as catch.

BTN Bus Tour – #Northwestern – RB Venric Mark/Tyris Jones were todays backs – They are built for the option

BTN Bus Tour – #Northwestern – Love Kain Colter – poise, presence competitor ?gets it? at a position you better have someone who ?gets it?

BTN Bus Tour #Northwestern – Could be a retro team – option which plays to their Off personnel OL/RB/QB and helps Def with time of poss.

And @BTNTomDienhart had a few thoughts, as well:
I loved the young defenders at #Northwestern: Odenigbo, Carter, Gibson, Ariguzo, Campbell, VanHoose. #B1G

Who will be SuperBack for #Northwestern with Drake Dunsmore gone? I saw at least 5 take reps today. NU could just use more multi-WR sets.
