In Northwestern Football's epic 2018 Holiday Bowl comeback it was this huge return from Jared McGee which really allowed the 'Cats to grab the momentum away from Utah. Wildcats are 2-0 in bowl games against the Utes.

The 2011 Wildcats had some speed with Jeremy Ebert at WR and Kain Colter at QB. Here Colter hits Ebert over the middle and he runs away from the entire Cornhusker defense to give Northwestern Football a top-10 upset in Lincoln.

The end of Northwestern Football vs Wisconsin in 2015 was really odd. But one thing I know is the 'Cats won 10 games in 2015 and a great deal of it was due to a defense that would come through when their back was against the wall or against the end zone as you see here.

One the closest calls in Northwestern Football's undefeated B1G season in 1995 was downstate in Champaign. Late in the game Darnell Autry scored on 4th down to give the 'Cats the lead.

Bonus highlight today as we got the official announcement that Jack Lausch is leaving Northwestern Football to be a full time baseball player. I think Jack is going to be a great baseball player. I also believe he had the raw tools that he eventually would've found the right fit as a QB1.

.Northwestern Football has been fortunate to have outstanding linebackers over the years. One of the best here in Anthony Walker taking a pick back vs Penn State. 'Cats will look to get their first W at Happy Valley since 2014 this year. Trivia on this game: Trevor Siemian had 3 rushing TD

Tyrell Sutton is on the list of best Northwestern Football family debuts. He was All-Big Ten as a freshman and really broke out during this game vs Northern Illinois in which he had four TDs. I wish he'd been able to be healthy during the full 2007 and 2008 seasons.

This week Northwestern Football named #8 Preston Stone as the starting QB. The last NU starting QB to wear #8 was Tim Hughes in 1997. Here he coverts on the gutsy 4th down play-action call to Toussaint Waterman to help the 'Cats upset Michigan State.

I'm not sure anybody has done the 2-QB system as well as Northwestern Football with Colter and Siemian. Here it is QB to QB to give the 'Cats an early lead vs OSU. As discussed before, other than the final result this was great moment for NU. ESPN Gameday, cool uniforms, ABC Primetime kick

One reason Trevor Siemian has stuck around the NFL as long as any Northwestern Football QB this side of Otto Graham is his ability to place the football on the fade. Here he makes a great throw and Christian Jones makes a great catch. Bonus brief Tyler Scott INT clip to setup the TD.

Brandon Joesph was an All-American for Northwestern Football after leading the nation in interceptions in 2020. This might not be his most famous pick but it was critical in a game where Nebraska kept getting into NU territory but the 'Cats defense kept finding a way to turn them over.

1 month til Northwestern Football kickoff! Mike Kafka is probably must famous for running for 217 yards in this game but hitting this long TD pass to Jeremy Ebert early in the game really showed he was ready to step in at QB for the injured CJ Bacher.

As frustrating as the injuries were for Northwestern last year & they probably derailed another tournament year. One huge positive was Windham got a ton of playing time late in the year. He’s ready for that leap and he’s taking off from farther along because he played a lot late.

The last Northwestern Football victory over Michigan was in the snow in Ann Arbor in 2008. CJ Bacher finds Eric Peterman here for the go-ahead score. Wildcats will try to once again knock off the Wolverines when they host them at Wrigley Field this November.

One of the best things about a walk-off road win is how you make 80,000 fans go instantly silent. Damien Anderson walked it off for Northwestern Football in Madison in the B1G opener of what would end up being a Conference Title season for the 'Cats in 2000.

One thing I love about sports is the lesson to be ready when your number is called. Against Penn State in 2015 Northwestern Football's starting QB Clayton Thorson was knocked out of the game. Back-up Zack Oliver stepped up and led the 'Cats to a victory.

N-Cat on the football for Northwestern Football. I love it! I’m a fan of the classic block N but I still think we should see the N-Cat occasionally on coaches gear and for throwback nights.

Always exciting when the B1G and the SEC matchup as conference pride is on the line. Dan Persa and Northwestern Football got one for the B1G in 2010 with a win at Vanderbilt. Nice play design here. Don't see a lot of two back under center in modern football.

Brief break from my Northwestern highlights posts to share a few pictures and video from my trip to Wrigley Field today.

After Darnell Autry led Northwestern Football to a win over Penn State in front of a packed house with famed broadcaster Keith Jackson on the call he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated as SI proclaimed the 'Cats were "The Real Deal" in November of 1995.
