Will Ragatz and Ian McCafferty debate which regular season game carries the most significance.
Northwestern faces a pretty brutal schedule in 2016. As a result, each game — especially in conference play — takes on a bigger significance. Will Ragatz and Ian McCafferty discuss which of those 12 games will be the most important for the Wildcats to win.
Will Ragatz: What makes this an interesting discussion is that there isn’t one game that clearly stands out as being Northwestern’s most important in 2016. You could make the case for any of the four games in October (@Iowa, @Michigan State, Indiana, @Ohio State), the Wisconsin home game right after that brutal stretch, or even the season opener against a strong Western Michigan team.
