The Wolverines have owned the Wildcats since 2011, and many of the games between the two have been very close.
Arguably, this Saturday's game in Ann Arbor against the No. 18 Michigan Wolverines, at the Big House on Homecoming, is the biggest one for Northwestern football since the infamous 2013 GameDay loss at Ryan Field to Ohio State, which sent the Wildcats into a season-ending tailspin.
Northwestern ended up going 5-7 that year, which, after a surprising 4-0 start, is about as bad as it gets. That team was much like the 2015 one, in that it caught many people off guard in a good way.
