Northwestern just did it again last season. The Big Ten’s little engine that could hit double-digit wins for the third time in the last six years. CFN’s Pete Fiutak put that in perspective: in the Big Ten, only Ohio State, Wisconsin and Michigan State have done that. Over the last fifty years, the Wildcats have only had 12 winning seasons.
Half of those have been in the last ten seasons with Pat Fitzgerald as head coach.
After the second week of the 2017 season though, Northwestern looked more like a ten loss team than anything else.
