1. Would you be surprised to learn Northwestern is 9-1 in its last 10 Big Ten games? The Wildcats are. The only loss came a couple of weeks ago against Michigan, a game Northwestern led 17-0 before forgetting how to play offense for the final 30 minutes. The stretch includes a pair of wins over ranked Michigan State teams, a victory over Iowa and last year's overtime win in Lincoln when the Wildcats essentially ran the ball down Nebraska's throat in the extra period. It's generally not real pretty when Northwestern plays, but it has been effective in the league.
