Northwestern Wildcats 2015 Football Preview

Throughout Nebraska's time in the Big Ten, the "Other NU" (as NW fans prefer to call themselves) has been one of the more frustrating thorns in Nebraska's side. Northwestern came to Lincoln in 2011 and dominated NU, with Kain Colter playing the villain. In 2012, Husker fans traveled to Chicago to create a Red Out on NW's home field, only to watch the Huskers try to fumble away a game that Nebraska otherwise dominated. In 2013, Nebraska overcame a 21-7 NW halftime lead, but a Tommy Armstrong interception late in the fourth quarter led to Northwestern taking a 24-21 lead with 1:20 left in the game.
