Northwestern’s secondary keeps predicting its own interceptions

Related Topics: Interception

It’s been a crazy seven weeks for this Northwestern football team, filled with a season’s worth of storylines already. But hidden beneath the more high-profile headlines is a story that has yet to gain much notoriety in the national media and should be on everyone’s radars moving forward.

In not one, but two separate occasions this year, a Northwestern defensive back has predicted before a game that they would record an interception and on both occasions the players, were successful.

This all started on September 17, when junior safety Godwin Igwebuike decided to send out a tweet just an hour before Northwestern was scheduled to take on Duke.
