Northwestern-Illinois Press Conference Notes

Fitz was joined by a host of players to discuss the win over Illinois and the upcoming matchup with Ohio State.

Pat Fitzgerald

-Opened by highlighting how much it meant to the team to beat Illinois. He credited Lovie and Illinois for playing well, and noted that the team came out injury-free.

-On the most gratifying part of the season: I hope we stop talking about the 1-3 start. I wish the narrative would change to going 15-1 over the last 16, winning eight out of nine this year. The way that they worked the past two weeks knowing Indy was ahead.
