Northwestern, 16, Miami (OH), 6.
W! Well, it wasn't great, but, hey, I'll take it. A 16-6 w over Miami (OH) is still a win, and probably a better one than our 24-21 win over Eastern Michigan. Optimism, people. Anyway, we won....
Oh, THEY'RE the 0-5 team
Previewing a matchup that between a team that used to go 0-12 year-after-year and a team that might very well go 0-12 this year. Provided, of course, that Northwestern beats them.
Gettin' Familiar with: Miami (OH)
The Miami RedHawks are 0-5, so, this is the most cynical team preview you'll ever read.
