After back-to-back five-win seasons, the No. 13 Northwestern Wildcats (10-2) are on the verge of making history.
This is just the fourth time in Northwestern’s 125-plus year tenure that it recorded 10 wins in a season. A win at the Outback Bowl would give the Wildcats their highest-ever win total. Northwestern has never won more than 10 games.
This has already been a special season for the Wildcats -- they should end the season ranked for just the second time in 19 years -- but a win would guarantee this Northwestern team becoming one of the most-accomplished in school history.
