"The staying power is finally here.
With a second ten-win season in three years and a third in six years, Northwestern is well past the point of just being some try-hard, feel-good-story program under Pat Fitzgerald.

The pivot to go from Point B to C – meaning being a player in the conference championship race – could be coming soon."
A pretty upbeat summary despite putting the season at around 6 wins......
