20% of 2022 class Pell Grant eligible Milestone goal of Schapiro’s reached ahead of schedule By RACHEL KUPFER

daily senior staffer @rachkupfer

Northwestern has reached its goal of admitting a class of 20 percent Pell Grant-eligible students, a step toward increasing access for underrepresented students. Amid notes on the University’s U.S. News & World Report ranking, deaths in the Northwestern community and increases in funding for Counseling and Psychological Services, President Morton Schapiro and Provost Jonathan Holloway said in a welcoming email to students that the undergraduate Class of 2022 is Northwestern’s most diverse class to date. Coming from 47 states, 54 countries and “every walk of life,” the email said the class of 1,936 is full of students with different backgrounds. More than 150 students graduated from Chicago

Public Schools, 13 percent are first-generation college students, and, for the first time, a full 20 percent are Pell Grant-eligible. “This means that a significant number of our students come from low-income backgrounds that far too often have not provided pathways to premier colleges,” Schapiro and Holloway wrote. I n 2 0 1 6 , S c h a p i ro announced a school-wide priority to have 20 percent of an incoming class be eligible for the federal grant by the fall of 2020. According to Northwestern’s We Will campaign, 19 percent of the class of 2021 is eligible. The new statistic shows the University has now achieved the goal with the class of 2022 — two years ahead of schedule. Christopher Watson, dean of undergraduate admissions, said it was a tremendous effort across the entire University to reach the Pell Grant objective early. “Northwestern is a better place for becoming a leader in access, especially compared » See 2022, page 6

Prairie Moon reopens in new space Delta Chi moves Kicked out by Albion development, bar moves to Chicago Ave. spot By KRISTINA KARISCH

Prairie Moon celebrated its grand re-opening in style on Friday: with plenty of beer, a DJ, oysters and balloon animals. The restaurant, which had been previously located at 1502 Sherman Ave. had to close — 16 years to the day after it opened — in preparation for the construction of Albion Residential’s planned 15-story apartment tower. Now, the restaurant has moved into its new location at 1635 Chicago Ave., the former home of longtime Evanston staple Dave’s Italian Kitchen. Following a soft open at the end of August, Prairie Moon celebrated its grand re-opening Sept. 28. W hen the A l b i on

Residential tower is complete, Prairie Moon’s owners will get a space in the new building. Owner Rob Strom said he and his team are developing an entirely new concept for the restaurant, which will most likely feature a seafood-based menu. Strom said he’s happy with the new space, which is a bit cozier than the previous location — there is no more outdoor terrace or private dining room. It’s also a basement layout, which he said concerned him a bit at first, but did not deter customers from filling the space during opening night. “(There have been) bumps and bruises along the way,” Strom said. “We’re really happy with the way it turned out and people seem to be receiving us well.” In addition to a new layout, Strom said the new location’s

The Northwestern chapter of Delta Chi will occupy the Lindgren House, 2309 Sheridan Rd., after a renegotiation of its lease with the University. The fraternity was previously located at 619 Colfax St., behind Elder Hall and away from the fraternity quad. Mitchell Price, the chapter president, said the chapter took the opportunity to move closer to the fraternity quad when the University presented it. “It was a really cool

opportunity to be more a part of the IFC community,” he said. “We’re just really excited to be across the street and be closer with the greater IFC community.” The fraternity was previously the only located west of Sheridan Road. The move puts all Interfraternity Council houses to the east of the street. Price said the new house will also accommodate a growing membership. “We sort of had gotten to a point where the old house didn’t fit our membership needs and we were excited to grow,” he said. The move is part of a multi-year campaign to give fraternities updated leases and residences. Price said the » See DELTA CHI, page 6

Human Services to review EPD use of force report By KRISTINA KARISCH

daily senior staffer @kristinakarisch

Aldermen will review the Evanston Police Department’s annual Use of Force report and receive updates to the police chief hiring process at Monday’s Human Services Committee meeting. In 2018, the Use of Force panel reviewed 24 incidents where a police officer used force in a situation, according to a memorandum submitted by Deputy Police Chief Joseph Dugan. Of these incidents, 22 occurred in 2018 while the other two occurred in 2017. The memorandum shows that the most common situations where force is used are traffic stops and mental health calls. Additionally, there were 26 different types of force used across the incidents — the most common of which was “weaponless impact,” followed by the use of a “Conducted Electrical Weapon,” or taser. The memorandum sets out recommendations for future conduct, including a sustained use of body-worn cameras for police officers, and continued crisis intervention and de-escalation training throughout the department. EPD officers have been wearing body-worn cameras since January, when they were implemented for all patrol, community, tactical, narcotics

Durbin shares support of Ford, FBI investigation into SCOTUS nominee

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said he will oppose the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court on Friday, speaking alongside other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Durbin called for an FBI investigation into Kavanaugh, who has been accused of sexual

and traffic officers across the department. In January, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said EPD’s goal is to be one of the most transparent police departments in the Chicago area. He said that the cameras will be beneficial both for officers and the general public. “Whenever there is a question about factual matters regarding an incident … we will have the actual recording in video, ” Bobkiewicz said. “That will be a good thing for all involved.” Following Evanston Police Chief Richard Eddington’s announcement in July that he will retire at the end of this year, Evanston has been gearing up to hire a new chief of police. Three panels will assist in the city-wide selection process for Eddington’s successor, including a community panel, a staff panel and a so-called “peers panel,” consisting of other police officers, which will all interview candidates for the position.

Sexism has lifelong effects, study says By AMY LI

the daily northwestern

Sexist attitudes in the place a woman grows up can affect their socioeconomic outcomes long after childhood, even after they have migrated to another state, says a new Institute for Policy Research working paper co-authored by a NU economist. The average American woman’s labor-market outcomes have seen dramatic positive changes over the past several decades, with higher a probability of employment and higher wages. While a large swath of literature documents thus, according to a School of Education and Social Policy news release, none have studied the differences in women’s outcomes across states before the study, co-authored by SESP prof Jonathan Guryan. Guryan and co-authors Kerwin Kofi Charles of the University of Chicago and Jessica Pan of the National University of Singapore were the first to analyze persistent gaps in women’s market outcomes in the U.S. Sexism where a woman was born affects their outcomes even after they are an adult living in another job market because of the influence of norms that they’ve internalized during their formative years. The paper coined the term, “background sexism,” to describe this phenomenon. “Residential sexism,” on the other hand, describes sexism in the woman’s current state of residence. The paper found that wage and employment gaps among women are strongly related to mean male sexism, showing that the effect of residential sexism is almost due entirely due to men. Charles said that while the paper is chiefly about documenting the effect of gender-role attitudes, the results highlight the need to be attentive to the signals sent to young women. “It speaks to the importance of being vigilant about sexism in all its forms, even when someone is young.” Charles said. Pan said she believes that education policies would go a long way in helping to ameliorate the effects of sexism on future generations of

women. However, the implications of the causal effects of background sexism and residential sexism are different, Pan added. Background sexism requires policies that aim to directly shape slow-changing sexist norms while residential sexism needs those aimed at eradicating employer discrimination in the labor market, Pan said. “If we could figure out a way for policy or education to change those attitudes, that would be better for society and better for the economy,” Guryan added. The research process was set in motion over 10 years ago, according to Guryan, who said an earlier version of the working paper was written with some interesting findings, but he knew it wasn’t complete. The paper used a sample of white internal

migrants drawn from data from the Census and American Community Survey. Charles said the analysis specifically excluded women of color due to the challenge of accounting for how race and gender interact. “A Latino woman or an Asian woman might be subject to sexism that might be peculiar to her racial identity.” Charles said. Nevertheless, Charles said he has no reason to suspect that the same effects of sexism would not be present for those of other racial identities. “Nothing I know from my reading from social science or literature in general, suggests that the forces we’ve described here would not be present for other racial groups,” Charles said. amyli2021@u.northwestern.edu

To submit a piece for The Spectrum or discuss story ideas, please email spectrum@dailynorthwestern.com. In response to both national news (the Ford hearing, the #WhyIDidntReport hashtag) and campus news (the return of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the updated Title IX guidelines), it’s time for a conversation about reporting sexual misconduct on campus. When I was in college, a man on campus sexually assaulted me. I went to a trusted professor for help — I wanted to know what resources were available, to find a counselor and maybe to hear a kind word from an authority figure I looked up to. But the professor, it turned out, was a mandated

reporter (or a “responsible employee,” as the Title IX euphemism goes). The administration was informed and badgered me into participating in an internal investigation. What ensued were the worst two years of my life.

”

It’s one thing to wish more survivors would report, and quite another thing to force their instructors to report on them, even when the student doesn’t want an investigation...

I’m older now, getting my Ph.D. and teaching on Northwestern’s campus. The assault I experienced no longer affects me (we react to trauma in different ways — thankfully I seeym to have

bounced back). But my college’s investigation still haunts me: the utter lack of confidentiality, the involvement of my friends as witnesses, the eventual verdict of “not enough evidence.” There were worse elements as well — my college was much seedier than NU — but the basic process is the same at any university that complies with Title IX. As NU’s guidelines tell us: “the University cannot promise complete confidentiality in its handling of harassment complaints.” My purpose in writing this letter is twofold. First, students at NU need to know that their instructors are mandated reporters. They need to know that Center for Awareness, Response, and Education and Counseling and Psychological Services are confidential resources, but their instructors are not. Second, I want to urge any instructor who might read this to reconsider the guidelines set forth by the University on mandatory reporting. The professor who reported my case — well-intentioned as he may have been — did so without my consent. This is the last thing that a student who has just been

subject to a nonconsensual sexual encounter needs. NU’s suggested fix of putting your “responsible employee” status on your syllabus isn’t much help either — what about survivors who aren’t comfortable speaking to a stranger at CARE before they’ve spoken to an adult they know and trust? It feels like slamming the door. I’ll close by saying that I understand that Title IX and NU’s policies are both well-intentioned. Yes, the under-reporting problem needs to be solved. But it’s one thing to wish more survivors would report, and quite another thing to force their instructors to report on them, even when the student doesn’t want an investigation, or doesn’t understand the full implications of reporting. Our responsibility to our students should outweigh our responsibility to the system.

Amazon is a monopoly, monitoring its reach is imperative WESLEY SHIROLA

DAILY COLUMNIST

Today, in the age of technology, a few large companies control nearly the entire tech market. None seem as controlling and dominant as Amazon, however. Amazon is a monopoly which threatens new startups, other existing firms and the American economy as a whole. The United States has historically been an antitrust nation, and it only seems clear that Amazon needs to be broken up. It began in the late 19th century, when hundreds of small short-line railroads in the United States were being bought and consolidated into giant railroad systems. Fearing that small business, the cornerstone of the American economy, was under siege, the government quickly took notice. U.S. Sen. John Sherman (R-Ohio) put it most eloquently: “If we will not endure a king as a political power, we should not endure a king over the production, transportation and sale of any of the necessaries of life.” The Sherman Antitrust Act — which makes it illegal to restrain trade or to form a monopoly — passed through Congress with a near-unanimous vote in 1890 and to this

day remains the core of America’s antitrust policy. During the Progressive Era, which spanned from the late 1800s to about the end of the 1920s, politicians placed passing and enforcing strong antitrust laws high on their agenda. Teddy Roosevelt, known as the “Great Trust-Buster,” brought suit to many companies under the Sherman Antitrust Act during his tenure as president. Succeeding him, William Howard Taft sued a staggering 99 companies as president. In fact, the most well-known trust-bust occurred under his watch: the breakup of the Standard Oil Company. In 1911, the Supreme Court found that Standard Oil had violated the Sherman Antitrust Act and broke the monopoly into nearly three dozen separate companies. “Trust-busting” remained a commonplace practice through much of the 20th century but has not made big headlines since 1999, when a coalition of 19 states and the Department of Justice sued Microsoft in a highly publicized trial which found that Microsoft had used coercive tactics against many companies in an attempt to prevent competition with its web browser, Internet Explorer. But that may soon change. On Sept. 4, Amazon reached the $1 trillion market cap for the first time, becoming just the second U.S. company to hit that milestone. While Amazon currently controls only 5 percent of all retail sales in the U.S.,

this number is only going to increase. What worries me most, however, is Amazon’s foray into other sectors of the economy. Amazon is an ecommerce and cloud computing company at heart, but CEO Jeff Bezos doesn’t

want to stop there. Instead he has been greedily digging his nails into a vast array of industries from music, to television, to groceries and most recently pharmaceuticals. It seems that never before has one firm been so dominant in so many industries. Brittain Ladd, a contributor for Forbes, has been saying since 2013 that Amazon could operate as five distinct companies: Amazon Web Services, Amazon Logistics, Amazon Retail, Amazon Entertainment and Amazon Health and Life Sciences. President Donald Trump has taken notice, tweeting recently that Amazon has a “huge

antitrust problem.” It is imperative that he pressures Congress and the Supreme Court to actively evaluate options for crafting new laws or working with existing ones that could force an Amazon bust and breakup. Due to the growing number of voices in business, politics and the media questioning Amazon’s ethics, growth and market share, Congress and the Supreme Court will have a hard time not evaluating said options. Bezos is no doubt aware of this. In fact, some have speculated that Amazon is so concerned about the possibility of government intervention that Bezos may choose an area near Washington for its second headquarters, where it could manipulate perceptions in the White House and U.S. Capitol. Amazon is as much of a monopoly as any Standard Oil or Carnegie Steel, and it’s only continuing to grow. It is time to break it up before it gets even bigger, wreaks havoc on the American economy and hinders our possibility of achieving the American Dream. Wesley Shirola is a Weinberg sophomore.

BIKE

From page 1 off Bike the Ridge at 9 a.m., clad in a navy Syracuse windbreaker and a silver bike helmet. Until 1 p.m., the city closed Ridge Avenue to vehicular traffic from Church Street to Howard Street, allowing cyclists to ride freely throughout the streets. Though cycling was the main focus of the event, food trucks, sponsors, bounce houses and live music filled Ridgeville Park and Alexander Park to provide additional entertainment for riders. Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) started the event in 2008 with Anjana Hansen, former 9th Ward alderman and current judge for the Circuit Court of Cook County. Ridge Avenue had been under construction for a year once Evanston assumed control of the street from the state of Illinois, and upon opening it, Rainey said the idea arose to have a day to celebrate bicycling on a road where bikes were typically prohibited. “Since no one is ever allowed to put a bicycle on Ridge Avenue, we shut it down completely for a day, and we have Bike the Ridge,” Rainey said. “Streets have to be closed. Ambulances have to be diverted. It’s a big deal.”

fraternity’s 10-year lease expired at the end of the last school year. Students who had planned to live in Lindgren were offered a room on campus that they had ranked higher during the housing selection process. “They were very pleased with their options” said Jennifer Luttig-Komrosky, the executive director of residential services. The NU chapter of Theta Chi was eyeing Lindgren after reactivating its presence

Beyond riding up and down Ridge Avenue, the event offered bike repairs, registration and decorations, as well as providing free helmets to riders while supplies lasted. As participants over the years have tried to expand the event to include other forms of transportation, such as scooters and strollers, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said the focus has remained on allowing biking in the street. “This is really meant to be biking for recreation, a safe space for families,” Bobkiewicz said. “In traffic, people may not feel comfortable getting out as a family. Here, you can get out in the middle of the street and know that you’re going to be safe.” Due to the narrowness of Ridge Avenue, a bike lane cannot fit on the road. Widening the road would require removing the tree canopy lining the street, Bobkiewicz said, so for now, bicyclists will only be able to ride on Ridge Avenue for one Sunday of the year. For the Fitz-Green family, attending Bike the Ridge is a tradition, Seth Green said. “It’s definitely our favorite Evanston event,” he said. clareproctor2021@u.northwestern.edu on campus last spring. Theta Chi members had previously occupied the fourth floor of the house, which only houses male residents.

From page 1 to our peer schools,” he said. Watson maintained Northwestern follows a need-blind admission policy, meaning students are considered without taking into account their ability to pay. Instead, among other factors, the process includes a review of what an applicant may share regarding home life and background, he said. The achievement also would not have been possible without a “steadfast commitment” to need-based financial aid, he added. While the University is working to reduce expenses to deal with a budget deficit — including cutting staff positions — Schapiro and Holloway wrote that investing in financial aid has been a critical commitment that has included doubling aid for undergraduate students. “We’ve made major investments in our people and our programs,” the email said. “We are committed to ensuring that our students are able to earn their degrees with as little financial hardship as possible.” Madisen Hursey, co-president of Northwestern Quest Scholars said the 20 by 2020 milestone has fostered positive changes for the community of low-income and first generation students. The organization, which advocates for for students who identify as low-income, saw a huge showing of excited freshmen during their Wildcat Welcome programming, the Weinberg senior said. With support from high-ranking University officials, Hursey said, students feel more welcome and comfortable. Hursey said she is excited to see what the school will do to meet the needs of the growing community, she said.

basis — which have been received well by customers so far. Marketing manager Scott Anderson said the move took longer than they had originally anticipated, but that much of the restaurant’s old staff has followed them to the new location, which is closer to Northwestern. He said he hopes their new proximity to campus will lead more students to frequent Prairie Moon. Paul Zalmezak, the city’s economic development manager, said in May that the move helps occupy a space that would otherwise be difficult to fill because of its configuration, and that the restaurant will serve as an anchor for the north end of that block of Chicago Avenue. “I do think that they’ll benefit from the visibility of the foot and auto traffic, and I think they’ll do well there,” Zalmezak said. “They really spent some time thinking about where to relocate … and they ended up going with this.”

“Everybody I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with in my different roles in Quest has been really invested and supportive,” Hursey said. “The next step is taking that enthusiasm into something more tangible for all the new students, throughout their entire four years.” rachelkupfer2021@u.northwestern.edu

Benjamin Gerts, of Temperance Beer Company, an Evanston-based brewery, sells his beer to Prairie Moon and was at the opening. During the opening, he said he was happy with the feel of the new space — especially the expanded bar. “I really like it,” he said. “It’s kind of like a speakeasy kind of thing.” Tori Foreman, an Evanston resident, attended the opening with a friend. She said the new restaurant is convenient and centrally located, and though it feels familiar, the Prairie Moon ambiance remained. “It’s kind of a hybrid of Dave’s Italian Kitchen and Prairie Moon,” Foreman said. “But this is a Prairie Moon crowd … (there’s fewer) kids running around, less spaghetti flying everywhere.” karisch@u.northwestern.edu

UPSET DENIED

Wolverines overcome 17-0 first-half deficit to defeat Wildcats By COLE PAXTON

daily senior staffer @ckpaxton

The equation, once again, had all the components. Northwestern raced out to an early lead, even scoring a touchdown on its opening drive. The offense, after a while, came to a complete, maddening stop. The defense could hold on only so long, until the Ryan Field visitors pulled ahead for good and walked away with a victory. On Saturday, that meant the Wildcats (1-3, 1-1 Big Ten) turned a 17-0 lead into a 20-17 defeat at the hands of No. 14 Michigan, (4-1, 2-0) heartbreakingly depriving NU of a victory in a game it led until the final four minutes. Instead of securing a signature win that could’ve neutralized the devastating losses to Duke and Akron, the Cats lost for a third straight time and racked up a paltry 202 total yards of offense. “We just have to play better in the second half,” senior quarterback Clayton Thorson said. “We come out and play well in the first half, put ourselves in a really good spot, and the second half we just give it all back to them. … That’s a really good team, and they’re going to take advantage of the opportunities you give them.”

The statistics were woeful across the board. Thorson completed three passes after the break. In its first game without running back Jeremy Larkin, NU rushed for 71 yards, excluding sacks. Seven drives ended with punts from the hosts’ own territory. “Offensively, it just seemed like the plays we made in the first half went oh-fer in the second half,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “I thought Michigan’s front dominated the second half, and that was the difference in the game.” And yet, the Cats led for 53 consecutive minutes of game time. NU’s defense was stellar in the opening half, allowing only the one score. For most of the second half, the Cats executed their “bend, don’t break” defense to perfection, allowing Michigan to rack up yards but tally just a pair of field goals on drives that ended inside the NU 10-yard line. That strategy worked to perfection for three-and-a-half quarters. But when the Cats needed a big play in the closing minutes, they couldn’t get one.

A dart from Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson landed in tight end Zach Gentry’s hands — not those of cornerback Montre Hartage, who came within inches of the ball — at the NU 6-yard line. Two plays later, running back Karan Higdon waltzed into the end zone practically untouched, putting the visitors atop the scoreboard for the first and only time. “Anytime the game is in the hands of the defense, you want to be able to go out there and make that stop to win it,” senior safety Jared McGee said. “(You need) to get a turnover in the red zone or hold them to another field goal. You aren’t able to get that, you lose games.” So it was, once again, for the Cats, who failed to record a takeaway and had just one sack. Instead of breaking the code that let leads fly away onto Lake Michigan, the hosts fell to defeat once more. NU will need some new math, and quickly, to avoid failing to reach a bowl game for the first time in four years, because the numbers aren’t pretty: The Cats need five wins in their last eight games just to break even at .500. “We can’t win games by scoring 10 points. It’s a 60-minute game,” Thorson said. “We’ve got to (get better) ourselves, and shut out the noise.” Brian Meng/Daily Senior Staffer

FOOTBALL

Running game struggles in loss Once again, offense By BEN POPE

daily senior staffer @benpope111

For the first time since 2013, Northwestern does not have a reliable, established lead running back to rely upon offensively. Monday’s news that sophomore Jeremy Larkin would have to medically retire from football all but etched that in stone. But Saturday’s performance against No. 14 Michigan, a respectable 20-17 loss on the scoreboard but utterly woeful from an offensive perspective, fully chiseled the fact into granite. The Wildcats’ (1-3, 1-1 Big Ten) rushing attack was completely shut down by an aggressive and amorphous Wolverines’ (4-1, 2-0) front seven. Including sacks, NU finished with just 28 rushing yards; even removing sacks, the team tallied 28 carries for 71 yards — a sluggish average of just 2.5 per attempt. Michigan entered the afternoon

touting one of the best run defenses in the country, having held opponents to just 2.7 yards per attempt in its first four games. And then the Cats did even worse than that. “Offensive football is really ugly when it’s not going well,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “Have you seen Michigan’s defense play? They’re really good. We didn’t pop any (runs). There were a couple where we were a block away.” Not only did defensive end Chase Winovich and the pass rush terrorize senior quarterback Clayton Thorson on his dropbacks, sacking him six times, but they also completely bottled up any runner NU plopped in next to Thorson. Junior John Moten finished as the lead rusher with 13 carries for 36 yards and a touchdown. He was involved in the passing game on the team’s first drive, taking a slip screen for nine yards, but recorded no further receptions. Moten avoided any big losses or catastrophic mistakes, but also made few plays of note. “I felt confident (and) I felt

comfortable, especially after the first few plays,” said Moten, soft-spoken as always. “Obviously, we need to clean some things up offensively, but overall it was a good experience.” Freshman Isaiah Bowser — anticipated as the new change-of-pace back — was barely seen, getting only one carry (for two yards). Instead, it was oft-injured senior speedster Solomon Vault, unexpectedly making his first appearance since 2016, who took over that role. Vault, primarily a returner in his college career prior to undergoing surgery a year and a half ago, was cleared to play and incorporated into the offensive plan Monday, Moten said. The Maryland native took his second touch for nine yards and looked ready to explode, but never again found any space. He finished with seven rushes for a paltry 18 yards. Fitzgerald and offensive coordinator Mick McCall came out with a game plan that included some new looks, including junior receiver Riley Lees — a converted high school quarterback — taking some direct snaps in the wildcat formation (he finished with two carries for eight yards). That game plan worked at first, spotting NU 17 points in the game’s first 20 minutes, but an unsightly combination of offensive line injuries, Michigan defensive adjustments and inexperience at the running back position doomed the offense beyond that point. Still, Fitzgerald remained optimistic about the position group’s outlook after the game. “All three guys ran with some authority,” he said. “They went into the week not necessarily knowing they were going to be in this role and now, all of a sudden, they are, so I think they’ll do nothing but continue to get better.”

John Moten looks for a hole in the Michigan defense. The junior running back led Northwestern with just 36 rushing yards.

falters in second half By JONAH DYLAN

daily senior staffer @thejonahdylan

In two of Northwestern’s first three games, the Wildcats were shut out in the second half. Then on Saturday, It happened again. The Cats (1-3, 1-1 Big Ten) jumped out to a 17-0 first half lead behind 105 yards of offense in the first quarter, then faltered once again after the break and fell 20-17 to No. 14 Michigan (4-1, 2-0). “We had slant throws that were there (in the second half ), that were on the spot and we get it and we drop it,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “I really liked our plan, but I will give credit where credit’s due.” NU once again put pressure on its defense with its lack of offense, and though the Cats responded relatively well, they couldn’t hold off Michigan’s offensive attack. NU was largely able to contain star Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson, who finished with 196 yards and no touchdowns, but the Wolverines scored 20 unanswered points to escape Evanston with a win. The trio of NU second-half failures early this season haven’t been for the same reason. Against Akron, turnovers plagued the Cats’ second half offense, which allowed the Zips to score two defensive touchdowns after the break. Against Duke, NU actually moved the ball better in the second half than the first, but had three different second half drives end with a turnover on downs, including one that started at the 50-yard line. Against Purdue and Michigan,

the story was largely the same. NU gained 285 first-half yards to just 141 in the second half against the Boilermakers, a poor number that looks respectable to the 46 yards the Cats gained in the second half against the Wolverines. NU has not trailed in the first quarter all season and on Saturday, NU couldn’t sustain any consistent drives after the opening period. “When you’re in the middle of a football game, one big thing that you need to do is capture momentum, and obviously we’ve had a hard time doing that,” junior running back John Moten said. “I think that if we continue to stay together as a team, and keep drives going, whether that be in the run game or the passing game and protecting (senior quarterback) Clayton (Thorson), we will have more success.” All told, NU has now scored 76 points in the first half this season, compared with just 13 in the second. Thorson threw for 94 yards in the first quarter, including an electric 36 yard completion to freshman receiver J.J Jefferson that was NU’s best offensive play of the game. But he finished with just 174 yards as protection broke down and the offense struggled in the second half for the fourth straight game. “I’d like to have a few of those plays back and make some of those throws,” Thorson said. “But we gotta fight. We’re up 17-0 and gotta finish the job. And the past few weeks, that’s been the story. We’re up, and then second half, we don’t finish.” jonahdylan2020@u.northwestern. edu
