Back to the Northwestern Wildcats Newsfeed

A look back on preseason predictions: Where did we go right, and where did we go wrong?

The Wildcats exceeded all expectations, but some bold predictions held true.

Back-to-back 5-7 seasons and a general perception that the program was on the decline. A new quarterback. The loss of a safety to the NFL, a four-year starter at center and two top wide receivers.

That's just a short list of what Northwestern faced heading into what has turned into an absolutely magical season.

But before the Wildcats touched the turf at Ryan Field to open the season against Stanford, we as a staff made both record predictions and bold predictions.
