Northwestern looks to get back on track against a non-FBS team on homecoming when the Wildcats welcome in the Howard Bison. Our staff writers are confident in the Wildcats to even their record and reach .500 entering the team’s bye week.
Iggy Dowling: Northwestern 34, Howard 10
If Ben Bryant can’t go, it might be a little closer, but Northwestern should be able to move the ball easily against the Bison considering how the ‘Cats fared against UTEP.

Northwestern has already exorcised its demons against non-FBS teams, and that continues against the Bison.
