WildcatReport's practice notebook

EVANSTON-It was a marketing department kind of day at Hutcheson Field for Northwestern's Wednesday practice.

It was hot and mostly sunny, with a slight breeze blowing off the lake. The skyline of Chicago was barely visible in the distance as boats dotted the crystal blue expanse of Lake Michigan.

But enough about the setting. We’re here to talk about football! Who looked good? Which freshman impressed? Who made plays?
