For the Chicken Little's out there, be scared... real scared. This team is getting national attention. Need to take care of business at Ann Arbor this Saturday, it's going to be a tough game, just roll out the 1995 magic.
3-point stance: Big Ten's national title hopes may rest on Northwestern's D

1. The Big Ten needn't worry about No. 1 Ohio State and No. 4 Michigan State failing to match expectations, not as long as No. 13 Northwestern continues to play its brand of defense. The Wildcats have allowed a total of 25 points, 13 in the first quarter, in their five victories. No opponent has thrown or rushed for 200 yards, and Northwestern has created 10 turnovers. FYI, as the Wildcats prepare to travel to Michigan: The last time they began the season 6-0, 1962, they rose to No. 1 in the AP poll.
For the Chicken Little's out there, be scared... real scared. This team is getting national attention. Need to take care of business at Ann Arbor this Saturday, it's going to be a tough game, just roll out the 1995 magic.
