'What the win means for Northwestern: The Wildcats completed a perfect nonconference season and should remain ranked in the top 20. Those are nice for bragging rights, but the real tests begin in Big Ten play, beginning next week against Minnesota. Pat Fitzgerald's team finally showed some spark on offense, with Clayton Thorson finding a good rhythm in the second half and Justin Jackson's skillful running leading the way toward nearly 550 total yards. The bad news is that the Wildcats got hit with a slew of injuries, with seven different players needing to leave the game. That included safety Godwin Igwebuike, defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo and left tackle Geoff Mogus. It could prove to be a very costly win.'
Well, at least it isn't just us.
