Northwestern's nightmare season continued under the lights at Ryan Field last Saturday when Miami of Ohio beat a Big Ten team for the first time since 2003. That team was also Northwestern. The Wildcats continue to spiral into disaster against teams they are favored against and enter the Big Ten season with the verve and excitement of the Terminator slowly sinking into a vat of molten steel.
The difficult thing about trying to figure out anything about Northwestern football this season is that the team transforms seemingly from series to series if not play to play. The Wildcats had series where they easily marched down the field with Hull bouncing off arm tackles and Hilinsky shredding the defense.
