Last year the Wildcats were one interception away from going to a bowl game for the third time in the past five seasons. If Northwestern anticipates getting back to the postseason in 2005, the defense will have to improve from the 28 points per game they surrendered last season. The offense can score which will keep them in plenty of ball games, but a tough Big Ten schedule and lack of on the field talent will likely keep the Cats home once again this bowl season.
