Preseason Prediction

[NJCat]

That is a very strong pattern of doing just enough to win (although I see you left our our loss to NIU. What happened in 2012? this new format stinks for finding information.).

Maybe we keep a modest play book and stick to fundamentals.

I think Fitz believes the perfect game is one in which NU wins 2-0. Conservative offense and a suffocating defense. Stanford 2015 was the epitome.

Bowling Green in 2001.

Recent losses to Miami (O) in 1995, 1999, 2003; NIU in 2014; BGSU in 2001 and 2003

Plus a lot of close calls, like with NIU (2008), EMU, 2006, 2009, and others.

NU- 9-3

I'd be pretty excited about 9-3 Della.

Yup. Leads to one of my favorite trivia stats for Northwestern. What major college football team has a lifetime record of 3-6 against Miami, Ohio, and 3-1 against Oklahoma?
