Quarterback Mike Kafka is gone but head coach Pat Fitzgerlad has build a solid enough program to rebound from losses to graduation. An early test against Vanderbilt will give us a better idea as to what the season holds in store for Northwestern. An otherwise unremarkable non-conference schedule should allow the Wildcats to begin 3-1 or 4-0. Couple that with the fact that Northwestern misses Michigan and Ohio State and you can see why Northwestern has an outside shot at returning to a New Year's Day Bowl. Dan Persa looks to be the front runner to take over at QB. The Wildcats will look again to spoil Iowa's season which unfortunately has become an annual occurrence in both basketball and football. Northwestern will finish 4-4 in conference play and 8-4 overall, another solid season in Evanston.
