The ESPN Big 10 blog is doing features on the toughest stretch for each Big 10 team. NU has featured in all but 1 of the schools so far that have the Cats on the schedule:
Minny: @Neb, NU, Wisc
MSU: @ND, Wisc, @IU, BYU, NU
IU: MSU, @OSU, Neb, @NU
Illinois: MSU, @Wisc, Iowa, @NU
This certainly shows respect for the Cats. FWIW, I think NU's toughest stretch will come early: Duke, Nebraska, @Iowa, @MSU
