Fun facts, figures and notes about Northwestern football’s 2023 schedule

After 229 days without amusing Dr. Pepper commercials, eerie mascots galore and the inherent zaniness of the sport, college football is officially back, with No. 13 Notre Dame and Navy kickstarting the 2023 FBS season in Dublin, Ireland (the Irish can only hope to be as successful as Northwestern was there). Boy, does it feel good to be back.

For fans of the Wildcats, the wait is a bit longer, stretching until the traditional Week One when the team will travel to Piscataway, New Jersey and take on Rutgers. With NU starting to conclude its lengthy fall camp and shift into game week preparation, here are notable tidbits about every nook and cranny of the ‘Cats’ 2023 schedule.
