How Northwestern can maintain its top play against better opponents

On Saturday, Northwestern Football had one of the best days in recent memory: not only did they capture their first win in America since 2021, but the Wildcats had an offensive field day in a 38-7 win over UTEP. It was a much-needed day for NU, who has obviously struggled over the past few years.

While Saturday was a big day for a program, it was a win over UTEP, a non-power five team that finished under .500 a year ago. Northwestern has to buckle up, as their schedule is only going to get harder. Next up is No.
