Northwestern rushing attack recharges season

Northwestern’s win over Indiana last Saturday was important for many reasons. First, the Wildcats won a homecoming game for the first time since 2012. Second, it kept them undefeated in the month of October and third, at 4-3, left them in second place in the Big Ten West and on track to earn a berth in a bowl game. After a 1-3 start to the season, including a 9-7 loss to an FCS team in Illinois State, this turnaround is a bit unexpected, but it can be attributed in large part to a renewed offense, led by a power rushing attack.
