Highlights and Lowlights
Northwestern hasn't had a lot to talk about in their football tradition. 1935-1936 would be an exception, as they beat Notre Dame and held on for 8 successful title defenses (as well as a win over North Dakota State in a non-title game). Their best shot at the title after that was a close loss to Ohio State in 2003.Record of Title Games
