Northwestern's 2010 Opener at Vanderbilt is a Night Game
July 21, 2010
EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern's 2010 football opener at Vanderbilt University will kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, Sept. 4 at Vanderbilt Stadium. The Southeastern Conference also announced that the Wildcats' opener would be televised by Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS), with additional distribution provided by ESPN3.com and ESPN GamePlan. Northwestern's matchup with Vandy marks the third meeting in school history, and the first game between the two schools since 1952. Northwestern is set to open preseason camp on Monday, Aug. 9 with its first official practice. Freshmen report to campus on Saturday, Aug. 7, while veterans report Sunday, Aug. 8. Northwestern is savoring its most successful stretch of football in school history. Since 1995, the Wildcats have posted nine seasons with six or more victories. In the last decade (2000-09), the Wildcats won six or more games seven times (2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009) and touted six bowl-eligible teams. Northwestern finished the last decade with an overall record of 61-60. In the last 15 years, only Ohio State and Michigan have won more Big Ten titles than the Wildcats' three conference crowns. NU has won a combined 17 games the past two seasons, which ranks as the third-most wins in a two-year period in school history. The Wildcats are coming off a 2010 New Year's Day appearance in the Outback Bowl. Off the field, Northwestern's football program is shining, too. The Wildcats had a school-record 60 players earn a 3.0 grade point average for the 2010 winter quarter, and for the second time in as many years, the team earned a cumulative GPA of better than 3.0. Northwestern had a school-record 29 football student-athletes earn Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2009, with two of those individuals being named ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans. Northwestern's football student-athletes also volunteer over 850 hours of combined community outreach each year, as well.
