Week 9: It was a tough first year in West Lafayette for Ryan Walters as he took the reins at Purdue. But with so many returning players on offense, and several transfers from Georgia, can they improve over last season?

Week 10: Coming into 2024 as the AP #2 team in the country, Ohio State is thinking National Championship or bust. Will their smothering Defense and a Chip Kelly led Offense put them back on top the Big Ten?

Week 11: The defending National Champions underwent a number of changes coming off 2023. But unlike some other schools making coaching changes, Michigan promoted from within. Will they have enough to compete for the conference crown again?

Week 12: At long last we come to the end of our Summer Previews, this time with a look at our in-state rival, Illinois. This is a team that struggled on both sides of the ball last year, but will consistency at QB and OC bring them some success?

Week 4: Conference play begins with newcomer Washington! The same uniforms featured in last year’s the National Championship game, but in reality that’s pretty much the only thing that is the same for the Huskies. All new conference, head coach, their entire starting lineup, etc. It’ll definitely be interesting to watch them adjust to their new reality.

Week 5: We haven’t seen Indiana in a while, but they made what many feel to be the best coaching hire of the offseason: Curt Cignetti comes to Bloomington with a bunch of his staff & several players from James Madison, but will he be able to turn things around in year 1? 

Week 6: Maryland has some good things and some bad things going for/against them this year. Taulia is gone. That’s bad. They’re not in the Big Ten East anymore. That’s good. They have to travel out to Oregon. That’s bad. They skip Michigan and Ohio State this year. That’s good. What will that mean for this season and for Coach Locksley?

Week 7: Finally, in our 7th game, we find a familiar Big Ten West foe. In year 1 under Luke Fickell, Wisconsin underwent a drastic change offensively and introduced a new defensive brain trust in Madison. It did not go as well for them as they’d have liked, winding up 7-6. Will year 2 be any better for the Badgers?

Week 8: Following Iowa in 2023 was a raucous affair, and the Hawkeyes enter 2024 having finally cut ties with Brian Ferentz for a new OC. The Hawkeye D again looks like a behemoth that will dominate the conference. Will their O bring anything to the table this season? Can they maintain their standing in the conference?

Week 1: We start our look at the 2024 Northwestern schedule with our opener on the lake.  Miami, OH is coming off a MAC championship last year and will be looking to potentially make a run at the Group of 5 spot in the playoff this year. They come to Evanston to try and spoil our Martin Stadium debut.

Week 2: This is not the same Duke team that we have seen in years past. Lots of changes on both sides of the ball and a big change at Head Coach. Mike Elko is off to Texas A&M and… wait… is that Manny Diaz’ music?

Week 3: We get a two-for-one episode with a recap of Northwestern’s Big Ten Media days before taking a look at our FCS opponent for the season, Eastern Illinois.

In prior posts below, you can also find previews for all 8 big ten teams NOT on the Northwestern schedule this year. We’ll be getting to our Big Ten conference opponents next week! GIVE NO QUARTER and GO CATS!
