Cats beat Iowa

The Northwestern Wildcats took on the Iowa hawkeyes this saturday at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. The Cats got off to a slow start trailing 10-0 at the close of the first quarter. But the perservenance of the Cats narrowed Iowa's lead to 17-10 at half time. Cats came out strong in the second half by scoring or their first to posseions making the score 22-17. The stifling NU defense then held this lead for the remainder of the game.

The offense was led by CJ Bacher who had 3 touchdowns passing and played great coming off a pretty weak performance last weekend against Ohio. Corey Wutton led the NU defense with 8 tackles and two sacks.

All in all it was a great performance by the Cats, who increased their record to 5-0 and are now winning the Big Ten. Hopefully they can keep up the good work for the rest of the season.

Northwestern 2-0

The Northwestern football team is now 2-0! The Cats pulled off a big victory over the Duke Blue Devils last saturday, September 6th. They won by a score of 24-20. The team was also coming off a huge win August 29th in which they crushed the Syracuse Orange 30-10. Some experts have said that this is the Cats' big break out year and they could really make a run for the Big Ten title. The team has a lot of seniors this year so it could be the last chance in awhile for them to make a run. Runningback Tyrell Sutton will be leading the way along with quarterback, C.J. Bacher and wide reciever, Ross Lane. Hopefully the "Big 3" can lead the Cats to a great season!
