Every Sunday after a Northwestern win or loss, we'll be handing out player grades as a way to analyze the Wildcats' performance from an individual perspective. Rather than rush out the grades on Saturday, we'll sleep on them, and wake up Sunday ready to accurately evaluate NU's players, coaches and opponents.
Northwestern reclaimed the LOLHat and won their tenth game on the season, something that only three other Northwestern teams have ever done. The offense submitted another inconsistent effort while the defense continued to dominate their opponents, and the Wildcats managed to hold on for the victory.
