Just last week, I sat in the exact spot I sit now, writing the exact same Where Are We Wednesday column that I write now. In that column, I advised Northwestern fans to take a step back for a moment and try to not formulate entire opinions about this year’s football team just yet. After all, they had only played two games, one of which came against a good-looking conference opponent and the other came against an FCS team.
That’s not all, however. I went as far to say that barring a loss against either or both of their next two opponents in Duke and Ohio, we wouldn’t be able to determine much about the state of the Wildcats.
