Northwestern football saw its hopes of making a bowl effectively come to an end over the weekend against Michigan and Inside NU's Adam Beck joins Zach to lament a rather disappointing season for the Wildcats. The two discuss how it's been to watch this team struggle to look competitive and maintain any consistency this season (2:23) while also breaking down the jobs done by head coach David Braun and Zach Lujan (9:07). They also revisit the decision to bench Mike Wright in favor of Jack Lausch and whether or not Northwestern will seek to stick with the latter going into 2025 (16:22). Next, they look ahead to the rivalry week game against Illinois and talk about what can be salvaged in a game against an impressive Illini team (23:35). The pair ends with their initial thoughts on the start of the Northwestern men's basketball season and how the team has navigated nonconference play thus far (37:25).
