If they lose to Purdue on Saturday there is a really strong possibility that they will go from 8-1 in the Big Ten last year to 0-9 in the conference this year (have us and @ Illinois left).
Rutgers has been awful but I think there is a chance they would be favored against Northwestern right now. The Northwestern offense has managed to score just 6 points in the last 3 games and the defense isn't playing much better.
That potential swing in conference record has to be a record of some kind. Teams have ups and downs but going from nearly unbeaten in conference play to potentially not winning a single conference game the following season just doesn't happen.
Really kind of shocking to see a program that has been very consistent for quite some time struggle to this level. Tough not to feel pretty confident in our ability to come out of Evanston with a win in a few weeks. But of course we will discuss that when the time comes...
