Wildcat Preview and Prediction
The Lowes Line: Nebraska
We don't know (yet) if the 'Cats will continue to roll this weekend, but we do know that the Lowes Line will continue to obsess about Men in Tights....
'Cats Blank Purdue
Northwestern notched its fourth straight win Saturday by dispatching
Purdue, 19-0, in the final football game at Northwestern Medicine Field
at Martin Stadium. The win was NU's first shutout since 2017, and only
its sixth shutout win since the 1995 season thirty years ago.
The Wildcats celebrated that anniversary by bringing back key members
of the 1995 team, including Coach Gary Barnett, Darnell Autry, and --
yes -- Pat Fitzgerald, who all received vocal and enthusiastic welcomes.
With the win, NU is just one victory away from bowl eligibility.

Wildcat Preview and Prediction
The Lowes Line: Purdue
It's
the Wildcats' (probable) finale at their lake house. It's the 30th
anniversary of Garypalooza. And it's the Week of the Favored Wildcats.
And the Lowes Line? Naturally, they stay right on target..
Wildcat History
The 1995 Season:
A Chronology
Northwestern
will celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the legendary 1995 Wildcat
football team this Saturday. Here is an HTP post from the tenth anniversary: prepare for Saturday by reviewing a timeline of the events of the 1995 season...
Penn State Fires Franklin
Less
than 24 hours after NU stunned the Lions in Happy Valley, Penn State
has parted ways with James Franklin. He leaves PSU with nearly $50M in
parting gift money and a well-deserved reputation as a horse's ass. ESPN article.
'CATS TAKE HAPPY VALLEY;
BEAT PENN STATE 22-21
Northwestern
turned in perhaps its best effort of the year, trading blows all day at
Beaver Stadium and coming away from Penn State with a 22-21 victory
against the country's preseason #2 team. For Northwestern, the win is
its third straight and rockets the 'Cats into bowl contention. On the
other side, Penn State has become the first team in at least 30 years
to lose two straight games in which it was a 20+ point favorite.
