[NU Sports] Other Facts About NU Football

Congratulations to Randy Walker on a third straight 6 win season.  The last
time it happened Dapper Dick Hanley was the coach and NU was finishing
back-to-back Big Ten titles in 1930-31.  The 1930 squad ran up 7 straight
wins before dropping the season-ender 14-0 to Notre Dame.  The next year,
the Cats had an incredible non-conference schedule (by today's standards) as
they hosted and defeated Nebraska (19-7) and UCLA (19-0) sandwiched around a
0-0 tie with Notre Dame at Soldier Field.  The Cats then swept 5 straight
Big Ten contests before dropping their finale to Purdue (7-0).

 

Northwestern has posted its best record for a decade, thus far, (33-36-0
.478) than in any previous decade since 1940-49 when Pappy Waldorf and Bob
Voigts combined to go 42-44-3(.489).

 

Keep it going, beat OSU!
