Pat Fitzgerald is making even more history with his alma mater.
The former Northwestern linebacker and current coach continues to add to his impressive list of accomplishments with the program, once again putting his mark on the record book by playing a prominent role in a 10-win season.
The Wildcats only have four of them in the history of the school, but Fitzgerald has been a part of three of them as either a player or coach after dispatching Illinois, 24-14, on Saturday at Soldier Field.
After a rough couple years, Northwestern bounced back in a major way this season thanks to a hard-nosed defense, a steady rushing attack and Fitzgerald’s no-nonsense leadership.
