Curt Cignetti’s Surprising Praise for Northwestern After Heartbreaking Defeat Leaves Fans Buzzing
“Northwestern is a good football team, I tried telling everyone that,” Cignetti said, as reported by Sydney Supple. “No one wanted to believe me, but two years ago if someone would have said Indiana at this point of the season was a good football team, no one would have believed that either.”
Northwestern’s defense put pressure on Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover throughout the night and used aggressive blitzes to disrupt the Hoosiers’ passing game.
The Wildcats also got a strong performance from quarterback Aidan Chiles. He threw for 293 yards and two touchdowns, both to Griffin Wilde, and added a rushing touchdown. Northwestern struggled to run the ball, finishing with just 32 rushing yards, but Chiles kept the offense moving with his ability to make plays through the air.
