Pat Fitzgerald unhappy with Northwestern's performance against Stanford

EVANSTON — Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald labelled his team's performance "very average" in the Wildcats' upset of No. 21 Stanford Saturday.

Speaking Monday at his weekly press conference, Fitzgerald sounded frustrated, perhaps even exasperated, despite winning as a 12-point underdog.

"After watching the video, there aren't too many big heads around here right now," Fitzgerald said. "The eye in the sky doesn't lie.

"I'm tired of being average. And average comes from being inconsistent. I thought we had a very average performance as a football team on Saturday. I think we can be much better in all three phases.
