Posted on 2 Jan 2011 by Ben Chiswick.
Well, it was a tough end to a tough year. During the regular season, the Northwestern Wildcats rose as high as 7-3 with a signature win against a top-15 opponent.

The Allstate Wrigleyville Classic was designed to be a Chicagoland bowl game, and that mission certainly proved successful after Wrigleyville turned into the center of the college football world for one wild afternoon in Chicago.

The Hoosiers’ Mitch Ewald, kicked a field goal to score the only points ...
