This is a game we all circled at the beginning of the season as a loss. Yes, it sucks after the fact because, like the Wisconsin game, could have won. However, we run the table and I believe we can still end up in Indy as beating NW would leave us with identical conference records, which I think would give us the nod. Wisconsin still has to play Purdue and Penn State, so I think they will lose another game. But we cannot afford another slip up.
