Meanwhile, Northwestern had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 49 points), and they went ahead and made it four on Friday. They blew past Bloomer 56-8 at home. The result was nothing new for Northwestern, who have now won six contests by 30 points or more so far this season.
