EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) No. 17 Northwestern is on the rise. To superback Dan Vitale, that means one thing: ''Don't believe anything anybody says about you,'' he said.

The Wildcats (3-0) are rolling into Saturday's game against Ball State (2-1) and they would like to keep it that way with Big Ten play starting next week.

If they knock off the Cardinals, they will be 4-0 for the second time in three years. And while that certainly sounds good, things sure fell apart quickly the last time they won their first four.
