Northwestern opened its 2024 season with a hard-fought win against Miami, christening the new football facility on the lakefront. The 'Cats revealed a powerful defense during its 13-6 victory at Northwestern Medicine Field. The Wildcats' offense is a work in progress, but it has real potential once it gets its sea legs.

The game was Northwestern's first home game east of Sheridan Road since the 1904 season, and it showed off one of the most beautiful settings in college football, with fantastic views of the lake and the Chicago skyline. NU put together a stadium and a program that wowed the sold-out crowd, and it did so in just a matter of a couple of months.

The win gives Northwestern a five game winning streak dating to last season.
