2008 Northwestern Football Preview:
Head Coach: Pat Fitzgerald
The Northwestern University Wildcats football team has proven itself to be a perennial underdog, and an exciting one to watch every year. Whether it’s posting a record losing streak, or playing in close exciting games, or making a big turnaround and becoming a Big Ten contender, Northwestern has done it all over the years. After the tragic passing of Randy Walker, new head coach Pat Fitzgerald managed to lead the tem to a solid .500 season in 2007 and will expect to improve on that next year.
