Half-assed Big Ten preview, Part 7: Northwestern

Right, so I'm bored and I've got nothing better to do, so I figured I'd try and preview the ten other Big Televen teams after doing as little research as possible. The point is to see if I my totally half-assed predictions are better than the crap you get from "experts". This will not be correct, and it won't be funny either. Done in alphabetical order, of course.

So, I've been "interpretated".

THE STORY: Northwestern is one of the most inspiring stories of our time. Rising from the ashes of disaster after disaster, they found the strength and fortitude to climb to the rank of middle of the road. A program worthy of a full preview.
