Welcome to The Daily’s photo blog: Captured. This is a space to share photos by The Daily’s staff as well as photos from members of our community. Students can submit entries to be considered from their classes, vacation or just from around NU by emailing [email protected].
Throughout the next couple weeks, Captured presents some of our favorite sports photography from the year.
Northwestern’s season got off to a brisk 4-0 start, leading into the team’s much-awaited October 5 showdown with Ohio State. The Wildcats lost that game narrowly, then plunged into a tailspin, dropping their next six games, before winning the finale at Illinois. NU’s 5-7 record on the season ended the program’s run of five straight bowl appearances.
From the electric atmosphere of the homecoming game against Ohio State to the heartbreaking loss at Nebraska, The Daily’s photographers covered the highs and lows of the past season, documenting the action directly from the sidelines.
