Northwestern football hoping to avoid 'dead' October
EVANSTON, Ill. (MCT) — It’s a smudge on the resume, an ink stain on the pants.
Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald has been perfect in August (2-0), strong in September (20-9) and solid in November (13-8). But October brings the first full month of fall — and a nearly annual fall for the Wildcats.
They’re 10-15 in October in Fitzgerald’s six previous seasons. Last year the Wildcats lost four straight before saving face at Indiana.
