Know Thy Opponent 2022: Northwestern Wildcats

Last year’s game at Wrigley Field was a treat. I got to see Purdue win in one of my favorite places on earth and it was a great day overall. The basketball team even beat a team that went on to be the national runner up (the less said about what happened after that, the better).

Now let’s never do it again.

Purdue beat a very bad Northwestern team that day, but what is most remembered is the condition of the turf as players were slipping all day long. The game even turned on an accidental onside kick due to a slip.
