Here Northwestern sits at 6-2 heading into its bye week. The Wildcats certainly aren't as good as the 5-0 team that came out of the gates, but after a two-game skid that seemingly sucked the life out of the team and its fans, Pat Fitzgerald's bunch was able to right the ship against Nebraska, earning an impressive victory in Lincoln.
At this point in the season, just about every fan would take 6-2. Sure, back-to-back blowouts on national television were no fun, and no, Northwestern isn't going to win the Big Ten, or even the Big Ten West for that matter.
