coordinated with the offices of Risk Management, Facilities Management and Neighborhood and Community Relations, as well as Faculty Senate, she said. In addition to pedestrian and biker safety, Cilento said the task force will examine other ways to improve student safety, including transit accessibility for students with disabilities. “We wanted to make sure we could do something more sustained,” Cilento said. “We’re just trying to create a group responsible for talking with students about the way they use campus and where things are currently unsafe and ways to improve.”
During a panel moderated by University President Morton Schapiro, Isola Jones (Bienen ‘71) reflected on a “major influx” of black students enrolling at Northwestern during her freshman year. “That same year, the first African-American homecoming queen was from our campus,” she said. “This made national news, and I was just so proud of the university.” Jones, former mezzo-soprano at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, is the only AfricanAmerican artist to have sung more than 500 performances with the opera. She was joined at the homecoming panel, held Friday in Norris University Center, by four other alumni: Linn Hobbs (McCormick ‘66), a professor of materials science and nuclear engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Samir Mayekar (Weinberg ‘06, Kellogg ‘13), co-founder and CEO of SiNode Systems; Phyllis Elliott Oakley (Weinberg ‘56), an foreign service officer at the State Department; and Dave Revsine (Weinberg ‘91), the lead host for

A new position could be created within Evanston government starting next year that would work exclusively toward increasing equity in the city. The staffer, called the equity and empowerment coordinator, would look into all city practices, including hiring and how the city enforces laws, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said. The new position, which was included in the 2017 proposed budget, would be focused both on internal and external operations, Bobkiewicz said. “The issues of equity and empowerment are pretty wide ranging,” he said. Cicely Fleming, the president of Organization for Positive Action and Leadership, said she would like to see the coordinator focus on racial equity. “When we think of what equity is about, (it’s) working with the population who is kind of at the bottom, bringing them to a more equal level,” she said. “The idea of equity is really focused on race.” Fleming, who is running for Ninth Ward alderman, said work with racial equity would also serve to help other underrepresented or disadvantaged groups, but, if the coordinator’s focus was too broad, race might “get lost.” Bobkiewicz said the city is looking to address the process and procedures the city has in place for issues such as construction permits and park uses. Additionally, the coordinator would look into how the city can best partner with outside organizations and individuals to get “a sense of what our larger community wants,” Bobkiewicz said. “We want to make sure that we’re hiring folks that are representative of the community,” he said. “Then there are issues … (of ) making sure that we have resources citywide, that we » See EQUITY, page 5

ASG to give out free bike helmets at The Arch
Associated Student Government, in partnership with University administration and the Evanston bikeshop Wheel and Sprocket, will distribute free bicycle helmets to Northwestern students Monday afternoon. ASG will give out 330 helmets at The Arch from noon to 2 p.m. to any undergraduate student with a valid Wildcard. University Police will also sell bike locks, register bikes and sell informational material on biker safety. The Office of the President granted $10,000 to ASG
for the initiative, and Wheel and Sprocket offered ASG a $10 discount on helmets. The initiative follows a unanimously-passed resolution in ASG Senate to improve transportation safety following the death of Chuyuan Qiu, who was killed in a crash with a cement truck while biking on Sheridan Road. The resolution, passed in coordination with Faculty Senate, also called for lowering the speed limit on Sheridan Road between Davis and Central streets to 25 mph. Christina Cilento, president of ASG,said she wanted to initiate a distribution for free helmets the day after Qiu died. “Helmets were something I knew fewer students have and
sometimes are stigmatized as being uncool on campus,” the SESP senior said. ASG partnered with Evanston to host a similar event, “Pedal Bright,” on Oct. 13 to distribute free flashing front bike lights at The Arch and at the Gibbs-Morrison Cultural Center, 1823 Church St. Although this is the first year ASG has distributed helmets, the city has distributed lights for years, Cilento said. ASG is moving forward in creating the Transportation Safety Task Force, which will continuously examine ways to improve the safety of students as they move about campus. The task force comes from the same resolution and will be
Cubs fans express hope ahead of World Series Northwestern students share stories, excitement By YVONNE KIM
the daily northwestern @yvonneekimm
As his team fought for a historic World Series appearance, lifelong Chicago Cubs fan Sammy Esparza decided he would do his part to help end a curse. The curse was that of the Billy Goat, which — the story goes — has plagued the North Side team for decades. In 1945, William “Billy Goat” Sianis was barred from bringing his pet goat into a playoff game at Wrigley Field. It is said Sianis then cursed the Cubs, and the rest is history: The team struggled over the rest of the century, tallying only 21 winning seasons since.
Serving the University and Evanston since 1881
In an attempt to reverse the curse, Esparza started a GoFundMe page to raise $107, representing the 107 seasons that have passed since the Cubs last won the World Series. Esparza raised the money in less than 24 hours, and used it to purchase a goat — named “Billy” — for a family across the world in need of dairy. “The thought is that the curse of the Billy Goat will go with that goat,” the Weinberg senior said, “and the Cubs can now win a World Series.” It might just work. For the first time since the curse supposedly began, the Cubs have won the National League pennant. They beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0 in Game 6 on Saturday night, winning the series 4-2, and punching their ticket to a World Series against the Cleveland Indians. The Cubs last won the
World Series in 1908 and have not appeared in one in 71 years. Preston Michelson, a lifelong baseball fan who works as a media intern for the Cubs, said being behind the scenes has changed his perspective on the team. “ When you’re at every home game, you just are connected to the team,” the Medill senior said. “You feel all the highs, and you feel all the lows, and you just understand this fan base and what it means to them. It’s pretty special to see the same faces at the ballpark everyday and see some really happy people yesterday.” He said he “couldn’t even see the road” hours before Saturday’s game because fans had swarmed the streets. He added that the Cubs are unique because they often play

AROUND TOWN Cook County to tackle infrastructure By SAM KREVLIN
the daily northwestern @samkrevlin
Evanston may receive funds from county coffers to tackle transportation infrastructure projects next year. Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle announced last week that she is including half a million dollars to be allocated to each county district for transportation projects in the Board of Commissioners’ 2017 proposed budget. The plan, if passed, would allocate $500,000 to each district, in an effort to create equity among districts for transportation projects, Preckwinkle said at a budget hearing last week. In August, Preckwinkle approved the first long term transportation plan since 1940 when Cook County laid the foundation for many of the expressways currently used today. “In the 70 years since the County’s last strategic transportation plan, the commitment and investment in our infrastructure has declined,” Preckwinkle wrote in the plan. “It’s time Cook County not only had a seat at the table, but also played a leadership role in creating a modern transportation system that meets changing consumer needs and responds to the demands of a twenty-first century economy.”
Evanston Fire Department battles 2 fires over weekend
Evanston Fire Department crews responded to two structure fires this weekend. Early Saturday morning, fire crews were dispatched at about 1:20 a.m. for an apartment fire at 721 Seward St., a news release said.
Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin said the proposal would strengthen relationships between local municipalities and the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways. Local agencies will now be able to work with the commissioner and the department to suggest local project proposals such as new roads, bike lanes and traffic lights, Suffredin said.

In the 70 years since the County’s last strategic transportation plan, the commitment and investment in our infrastructure has declined. Toni Preckwinkle, Cook County Board President
“We have some districts where in the past there have been almost no (recent) transportation projects,” Suffredin said. “The idea at the end of this is that we will have in every district some kind of a presence of county money being used to further a general transportation program.” Suffredin said the money will help Two units were affected before the department was able to stop the damage. One resident was displaced as a result of the fire. No residents or firefighters were injured in the incident that Division Chief Paul Polep said had the potential to affect the entire apartment structure. No injuries were reported in the second Saturday fire as well, which occurred after a rubbish fire spread to a south Evanston townhouse in the evening.
communities that have struggled in the past with getting projects off the ground. No new taxes will be raised to fund the program,superintendent of the Department of Transportation and Highways John Yonan said. He said most of the money raised will be from motor fuel taxes that will be reallocated for transportation projects. He said his department will have $45 million more to spend because of the diversion of motor fuel tax. “We needed to be strategic about how money is being spent,” Yonan said. “This is an incredible opportunity that hasn’t been there for projects that are on the shelf. This will make those projects a reality.” Yonan said because many projects cross district lines, the old system created competition between districts to search for funds. For example, he said, if there were an Evanston bike path that crosses district lines, it would be left up to the local jurisdictions to go after competitive funds. The Long Range Transportation plan now allows districts to work together when searching for funds. “Part of the Long Range Transportation Plan is connecting Cook County,” Yonan said. “We are doing something different now by looking at the entire county and the entire region and saying we want to be the enablers.” samkrevlin2019@u.northwestern.edu The Evanston Fire Department was also dispatched to a fire Saturday at about 7 p.m. in the rear of a townhouse complex at 163 Asbury Ave., a news release said. A rubbish fire in the backyard of the complex had spread to the building, resulting in damage to one unit. Crews were able to contain the blaze after it spread to the one unit. Both fires are still under investigation. — Nora Shelly

ON CAMPUS PANEL
From page 1 the Big Ten Network’s coverage of men’s football and basketball. Some of the panelists discussed the increase in enrollment of female students at NU over the past decades. This year, Jones said the United States is “on the verge of doing something spectacular” for women. Whereas countries such as India, Israel and Germany have had female leaders, the United States has not yet had a female president, and Jones said electing Hillary Clinton for president would be “good for everyone.” Schapiro said NU was ahead of many other colleges in admitting women. The university’s first co-ed graduating class was 1874, whereas Williams College — where Schapiro served as president from 2000 to 2009 — didn’t have a co-ed graduating class until 1975. At Yale and Princeton,
the first groups of women to spend four years at the universities graduated in 1973. Oakley agreed NU was open academically to men and women in the 50s, but said things were different outside the classroom. For example, the class president was always a man, she said. “The president of the student governing board … was a man,” Oakley said. “I could be the vice president. That was just the way it was.” After graduating from NU, Oakley went on to become the first female deputy spokesperson at the State Department during George Shultz’s term as Secretary of State. Panelists also described finding community on campus and said the university provided them an abundance of opportunities to pursue their interests. “No matter who you are, no matter what intrigues you, there is a place here for you,” Revsine said. Mayekar, who was the national security director
at the White House during President Barack Obama’s first term, said NU was his foundation in the United States, as his family immigrated from India. “When you come from immigrants, you just don’t have a big network in this country, and so Northwestern really helped give me my place,” Mayekar said. Schapiro said he wishes Garry Marshall (Medill ‘56) could have spoken on the panel. Marshall, director of blockbuster film “Pretty Woman” and a life trustee of NU, died in July. He was 81. Barbara Marshall, Garry’s wife, attended the panel, which included a photo slideshow and video to honor the late director. “If you could ever think of a more purple person than Garry — every one of his movies, someone has an NU sweatshirt,” Schapiro said. “He was just an extraordinary person.” peterkotecki2018@u.northwestern.edu

From page 1 during the day and still fill the ballpark. “It’s not something you’ll see in other cities,” he said. “It really shows how much it matters to the team, and this city is just connected to the team.” McCormick junior Pierce Gleeson, who grew up in Naples, Florida, but said he was raised as a Cubs fan by his Chicagoan parents, said he hopes to participate in future celebrations at Wrigley.
“
When you’re at every home game, you just are conencted to the team. You feel all the highs, you feel all the lows. Preston Michelson, Medill senior
He said he remembers watching the Cubs play the Miami Marlins over the summer and how heavily the losses weighed on his father. “This World Series is something really special for everyone I know (who is) a Cubs fan,” Gleeson said. “This is the year. I think we’re going to win it.” Weinberg senior Juan Rodriguez, who went to Wrigleyville for Saturday’s game, said he feels optimistic about the upcoming games. “I still think that they could do it and win it because this team is so different and really good,” he said. “This is the most excited I’ve been, as well as other Cubs fans have been, in a long time, I think.” The World Series will begin in Cleveland on Tuesday night. Esparza said he’s not nervous. “I’m excited, the city’s excited,” he said. “I feel this buzz in the air — I can’t describe it to you, but I feel it everywhere I go.” yvonnekim2019@u.northwestern.edu

After Fox News segment, let’s talk Asian stereotypes JUSTINE KIM
OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR
I am all for writing respectfully about sensitive issues, but this incident is one that many people can agree calls for “taking the gloves off.” Though the memory of Jesse Watters’ racist Chinatown video segment on Fox News may have faded in the minds of the general populus, each time I think about how Jesse Watters managed to shove every antiquated stereotype into a three-minute, poorly-edited segment, I want to grab Watters and shake the ignorance out of him. I saw the video just days after it was released on YouTube through a series of flabbergasted posts from friends on Facebook. My first reaction was pure shock. I watched it over and over again to make sure what I was hearing and seeing was correct. The premise of the video is that Fox News correspondent Jesse Watters, who has a regular segment called “Watters’ World” which appears on “The O’Reilly Factor,” went up to random New Yorkers to talk to them in the wake of China being mentioned multiple times by both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the first presidential debate. I didn’t expect Fox to include many supporters of Clinton in the video, but I also didn’t expect Fox to put subtitles throughout. Asian Americans are often seen as the “perpetual foreigner,” a stereotype initially
created to antagonize Chinese immigrants — one that has lasted more than 100 years. Adding subtitles to accompany the interviewees perpetuates the “othering” of Asian-Americans in this country. It was particularly troubling to see during one statement of a Chinese man who had a slight accent but surely would be understandable to most. If the words used by this man were easy enough for Watters to understand, they were clear enough for the viewers to understand, too. Adding subtitles poked fun at this man and others like him,
”
Humor does not need to be racist, nor does it need to be performed at the expense of others.
putting accents and Asian Americans as the butt of a very, very unfunny joke. Watters even pauses dramatically to make fun of other interviewees who do not understand his questions. The video continued with jokes about martial arts and clips from “The Karate Kid.” If this was Fox News’ idea of sampling Asian-American culture, it was a slap in the face. I had hoped that by 2016, privileged, talentless scum like Watters would not be on television, much less spew his uninformed “humor” across a mainstream network like Fox News. Not only did Watters create a sad excuse for comedy, but Bill O’Reilly
is also complicit in its release. O’Reilly framed Watters’ endeavor to Chinatown as an attempt to sample political opinion. The two did not portray a vision of Asians and Asian Americans that was diverse, multidimensional or complete. This video raises a larger question: Why did Watters think it was acceptable to make Asians and Asian Americans the butt of the joke? The roots of this answer seem to lie in the model minority stereotype, which has socialized many to see Asian Americans as a demure, apathetic group. Speaking for myself as an Asian American, I refuse to be silenced. In an interview following the backlash against Watters, Bill O’Reilly stood by Watters’ statements and claimed complaints were invalid because they came in 36 hours following the video and were largely from the “far left.” O’Reilly brushed off these criticisms because the video’s intentions were to be humorous, he said. To this, I say: Just because someone doesn’t complain immediately after the clip was released or your target audience hasn’t complained yet does not make this video any less offensive. Humor does not need to be racist, nor does it need to be performed at the expense of others. Watters is still on the air. Shortly after the segment aired, he tweeted a nonapology claiming his interviews are “meant to be taken as tongue in cheek” and that he regrets “if anyone found offense.” After about a week, I noticed that as angry as people seemed, not much action was being taken. Northwestern’s campus often feels to me
more reactive than proactive, and yet this complacency is something I am also complicit in. We should not let slide the anger and disappointment from this offensive video and should instead use it as a moment to reflect on racial issues on our own campus. I call upon the Asian-American community on our campus to spread awareness about why the video was so bad in the first place, and to encourage those who stand in solidarity with our communities to fight against the perpetuation of the stereotypes it contained. Asian Americans lie in what I like to call the “purgatory” of America’s race spectrum. Because of the visible success and privilege that some Asian-American communities have attained and the perception that Asian Americans are deemed “honorary whites,” our community’s issues with racism and discrimination are less visible in mainstream media. Coalition building and trying to become educated in the experiences of other marginalized groups are crucial in the fight against ignorance in this country and on our campus. That, and also the more immediate goal of getting Watters off the air. Justine Kim is a Weinberg sophomore. She can be contacted at justinekim2019@u.northwestern.edu.

The Daily wins Pacemaker award for best college newspaper
The Daily Northwestern won a Pacemaker Award for one of the best college newspapers in the nation, the Associated Collegiate Press announced Saturday. The Pacemaker is considered the most prestigious award in college journalism. The awards are given annually by the ACP in four categories: newspaper, online, magazine and yearbook.
expend resources in a way that then benefits all members of our community.” In the job description, duties of the coordinator include working with community partners to develop new programming that would “increase equity and empowerment in underserved areas of the City.” Additionally, the coordinator would be expected to work with underrepresented groups and be the liaison between those groups and city staff, as well as developing plans for the city to work toward eliminating racial disparities. The coordinator would also work on ensuring equity between city staff in pay and benefits. Assistant city manager Marty Lyons said at last week’s city council meeting the coordinator’s work would add to the city’s STAR program, which is a checkpoint system the city uses to The Daily was one of 18 newspaper winners selected from a pool of 155 entries and 30 finalists. The Daily has won the Pacemaker several times in the last few decades, with its last recognition in 2012. Medill junior Julia Jacobs, the paper’s editor in chief, said the award reminded her of the dedication of nowgraduated staffers to teaching reporters. “We put the same amount of work into our paper each day regardless of whether awards for college journalism exist, but this is affirmation that we are doing something right,” Jacobs said. “This mostly makes me feel grateful for the journalists at The Daily who came before us.That recognition of our work is a recognition

Medill junior Mariana Alfaro won second place for diversity story of the year and fifth place for multimedia news story of the year for her story from February, “Searching for safe spaces.” Medill senior Olivia Exstrum, Weinberg junior Daniel Tian, Weinberg sophomore KT Son and McCormick senior Bobby Pillote won fifth place for multimedia story of the year for Exstrum’s March story, “For students dealing with mental health issues, medical leave process presents obstacles.” Medill senior Tyler Pager, who served as The Daily’s
Bobkiewicz said that the city is looking for a new hire, rather than re-assigning a current employee, because they wanted to make sure the coordinator had the appropriate knowledge background for the work. The empowerment part of the job would focus on making sure all Evanston residents could involve themselves in the governmental process, Bobkiewicz said. “We can make sure all residents have an equal place in what we’re doing,” he said. “That I think goes into … making sure that everyone has information that they need so they can actively involve themselves in the process of government.” The coordinator position is included in the 2017 proposed budget, which council will discuss in the coming weeks and will vote on toward the end of the year. norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu editor in chief during Winter and Spring Quarters 2016, said the award was a “tremendous honor.” Pager said staff members submitted five issues from the 2015-16 academic year for consideration. The deciding committee took account of not just articles but photography, design and all other components that comprise an issue, he said. “This award is a testament to all the hard work we put into The Daily,” Pager said. “It’s for every aspect of the journalism we do, and every day we spend76985 there working toward putting out the paper.” — Marissa Page

From page 8 bounce-back performance. “We wanted to step up this week,” Igwebuike said. “It started with focusing in practice at all times.” The seemingly preordained interception from Queiro highlighted the strong performance. Coach Pat Fitzgerald said he didn’t think the three social media posts this year had much to do with his players’ interceptions, but made a request of his players in advance of their game against Ohio State. “I hope they all tweet it out next week,” Fitzgerald said. timothybalk2018@u.northwestern.edu

It ended up an ugly second half slog, but the Cats held on for their third straight Big Ten victory to turn around their season after a 1-3 start. “You win because you win with fundamentals,” Fitzgerald said, “and we were not doing that at all the first two games.

BRINGING IT HOME
Northwestern starts strong, holds on for homecoming win By BOBBY PILLOTE

October is turning out to be Northwestern’s month. In front of a homecoming crowd, the Wildcats (4-3, 3-1 Big Ten) rode another offensive outburst to a 24-14 win over the Indiana Hoosiers (3-4, 1-3) to stay undefeated this month. The victory is NU’s first in its homecoming game since 2012, breaking a three-year homecoming losing streak. “I thought we started the game the right way, especially based on the last two games that we did not start the game very fast,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “Very solid team win. …That was a physical battle, and we found a way to get it done.” A 54-point explosion last week on the road against Michigan State proved a tough act to follow for the offense, but NU’s suddenly vibrant passing attack continued its midseason renaissance in the first half. Sophomore quarterback Clayton Thorson was sharp from the start of the game, leading the Cats to an early 7-0 advantage on an 11-play, 70-yard scoring march on their first possession of the day. His 17-yard strike to junior receiver Solomon Vault to finish the drive was a harbinger of things to come, with Thorson tossing two more
touchdowns before the end of the half. The offense slowed considerably after the first two quarters, gaining just 37 yards after halftime, but 24 firsthalf points ended up being enough to carry the Cats to victory. “Everything worked well for us in the first half,” Thorson said, explaining the offensive disparity. “Right before halftime, we had thrown for a bunch of yards, we ran for a bunch of yards, really balanced. … In the second half, a lot of missed opportunities, just little things here and there.” Thorson finished 24-of-43 for 285 yards and three touchdowns, with seven of those completions going to senior receiver Austin Carr. The leading receiver in the Big Ten in catches, yards and touchdown receptions coming into this week, Carr padded his stats, racking up 125 yards and yet another score. He’s now managed at least one touchdown in each of NU’s last six games. And though he didn’t sniff the end zone, junior running back Justin Jackson remained his usual, reliable self by rushing 28 times for 94 yards. For the third time this season a Cats defensive back called his shot before the game, and for the third time he was right. Following in the footsteps of junior Godwin Igwebuike and sophomore Jared McGee, junior Kyle Queiro tweeted “Thanks for the INT” prior to the game — a bold move for somebody playing with a cast on his left
hand. But the prophecy came true in the fourth quarter, when Queiro reached back with his right arm to come down with an impressive onehanded pick. That interception, combined with another acrobatic pick by sophomore Montre Hartage in the second quarter, masked an otherwise uneven performance by the NU defense. Junior linebacker Anthony Walker led the way with 11 tackles, two for loss, and defensive ends senior Ifeadi Odenigbo and redshirt freshman Joe Gaziano chipped in a sack apiece, but the defense struggled at times to maintain consistency. “We came in with a mindset that we wanted to put a whole, complete defensive game together,” Walker said. “For the most part we played complete defense, but there were still some spots we can always correct.” NU suffered yet another loss to its already-depleted corps of defensive backs, with redshirt freshman cornerback Alonzo Mayo exiting the game in the first quarter with a lower body injury. Depth has become so thin that junior Marcus McShepard, moved to receiver from cornerback before this season, saw himself pressed back into duty in the secondary. McShepard and Hartage struggled to contain Indiana’s wide receivers, though Hoosiers quarterback Richard Lagow often failed to take advantage » See FOOTBALL, page 7
Quiero wows with interception NU’s offense falls off By TIM BALK

Kyle Queiro turned and located the ball while he backpedaled, then reached his right hand up as he fell. “We were in a three deep coverage,” Queiro said. “Actually I was supposed to be the post, but I messed up. I came downhill and immediately I turned around and ran straight … when I decided I was far enough back, or deep enough rather, I looked up, and I saw the ball.” When he landed, the football was in his breadbasket, and the junior safety had his first interception of the season. He looked at his left hand, wrapped in a cast, and then pointed toward the sky. Thanks were in order. Queiro had tweeted “Thanks for the INT” the night before Northwestern (4-3, 3-1 Big Ten) took down Indiana (3-4, 1-3) on Saturday, following in the footsteps of fellow Wildcats safeties junior Godwin Igwebuike and sophomore Jared McGee. Igwebuike and McGee each preemptively posted on social media to thank God for interceptions earlier this season. Igwebuike inspired the trend when he called his shot on Twitter before the Wildcats’ win over Duke and then followed it up with an interception off Blue Devils quarterback Daniel Jones. McGee repeated the feat in the Cats’ 54-40 victory last week by picking off Michigan State quarterback Tyler O’Connor after a pre-game thank you of his own on Instagram. “I’d seen Godwin and Jared do it,” Queiro said. “Going into Friday
night I just kind of felt it, to be honest. There’s really no other way to explain it. And we talked about speaking it into existence, in a way.” Queiro’s interception may have been the most impressive — and improbable — of the three. His club-like cast forced him to take a one-handed approach to the fourth quarter pick, and the leaping play would have been difficult even if he had two fully operational hands. The interception was also a major play in the game, putting a stopper on a fourth-quarter Hoosiers drive that could have cut Indiana’s deficit to one score. The Cats had already ceded momentum in a game they once led 24-3, and the scoreboard stood at 24-12 when Indiana got
the ball with 7:22 left in the game. But Queiro snuffed the drive on its second play with the acrobatic pick. The team’s defensive backs stepped up throughout the day, forcing Indiana quarterback Richard Lagow into 24 incompletions on 59 attempts while holding him without a touchdown pass. Sophomore cornerback Montre Hartage also had an interception, making a remarkable no-look, one-handed pick in the second quarter. After getting torched for 424 passing yards and four touchdowns against Michigan State, Igwebuike credited preparation for the » See QUEIRO, page 7

in second-half slump By MAX SCHUMAN
daily senior staffer @maxschuman28
When senior kicker Jack Mitchell hit a 19-yard field goal with time expiring in the first half, it didn’t feel like the last time Northwestern would put points on the board. As the whistle sounded for halftime, the Wildcats (4-3, 3-1 Big Ten) led Indiana (3-4, 1-3) 24-3 on the back of three touchdown strikes from sophomore quarterback Clayton Thorson and 371 yards of total offense. Following a two-game stretch that saw the offense come alive to the tune of 92 combined points, NU didn’t show any signs of slowing down early in its matchup with the Hoosiers. By the end of the game, that hot start was a distant memory. The Cats put up just 37 total yards of offense in the second half. Thorson completed 18-of-31 first-half passes but went just 6-for-12 in the second, while junior running back Justin Jackson turned 13 second-half carries into only 22 yards. Given Indiana’s body of work defensively this season — the Hoosiers came into the game allowing a solid 5.1 yards per play, No. 33 in the country, while playing a tough slate that’s included No. 2 Ohio State and No. 8 Nebraska — coach Pat Fitzgerald said he wasn’t surprised that NU ran into trouble. “I think they’re pretty good on defense,” he said. “They have an identity. They know who they are.” Nevertheless, the difference
between the first half and the second was stark. Early in the game, the Cats were in an up-tempo rhythm, stretching Indiana’s defense to its limits. But after the break, the Hoosiers seemed to have solved NU’s offense in a way that Iowa and Michigan State couldn’t before them. With the Cats’ offense stalled, the defense was left to close out the game in the second half and did the job in securing the 24-14 victory. NU came up with big plays when it needed them to snuff out scoring opportunities for Indiana, persevering through injuries in the secondary and the struggles of the offense to seal the win. “Whether we scored 50 points, 100 points or three points, we wanted to impact the game in some kind of way,” junior linebacker Anthony Walker said. While the defensive showing was good enough to withstand the second-half slump, the Cats are left with work to do as a date with the Buckeyes looms next week. After seeming to turn a corner offensively, NU’s final 30 minutes were more reminiscent of the team that started the season 1-3. If the Cats want to pull off an upset in Columbus, they’ll likely need a complete offensive performance, and Thorson thinks the unit can recapture that spark that has reinvigorated NU’s season. “It’s not like it was any one position group or one guy every time,” he said. “We’ve just got to clean it up. We’ve got to play for four quarters again.” maxschuman2018@u.northwestern.edu
