The average SAT score over the last four years has been 1,250. I mean, they actually beat Harvard the last two years, making Northwestern the winningest school in history...when it comes to the National Debate Tournament.</P> <P>Northwestern was founded in 1851 and now has students from all fifty states and more than 50 foreign countries. The campus lies on Lake Michigan and is less than 35 minutes by elevated train from Chicago. They have CEO alumni galore, giants like Charlton eston, in the entertainment industry as alums and their medical, math and science departments are replete with achievements which have had world-wide impact.</P> <P>Coach Barnett remembered those first recruiting days, "When I got here there were only three players who had been offered another Division I Scholarship." It was difficult because many recruits would say, "I just came by a a courtesy." The physical conditioning was going to have to play a big part. Athletic facilities on campus were improved including a 5,000 square foot weight room, a 125 seat auditorium for team gatherings and film viewing, two spacious meeting areas and new offices for all the football coaches.</P> <P>Coach Barnett made an important decision, "We're just going to 'grow a team'". Meaning no quick fixes but a development program to eventually play fourth and fifth year players instead of freshmen.</P> <P>The results were players like fifth year senior center, Rob Johnson, who gained 61 pounds in five years. The Northwestern offensive line in 1992 averaged 264 pounds while last season they averaged 287 pounds. Rob reflected, "I'd spend 20 to 25 hours a week in the weight room and eat until I was sick."</P> <P>It is interesting to note that Northwestern has not been able to recruit any Parade High School All-Americans. Michigan got 10, Penn State 7 and Michigan State signed 6 players. Their #1 strength and conditioning goal is to prevent injuries while Northwestern had to grow and develop their players to compete.</P> <P>Coach Barnett explained, "When I got here, I saw how these kids got barraged by negative stuff. That's why we started taking these kids to Kenosha before the season. We could plant the seeds that we wanted planted, fertilize and bring it along before they had to come back on campus."</P> <P>The first year of Barnett's grand experiment produced an unmiraculous 3-8 season. The next season saw the Wildcats slip to a two in season then up to a 3-7-1 effort in 1994. However, the scores were closer and there were victories over Boston College and Air Force. The Wildcats also recorded back-to-back road wins over Minnesota and Indiana.&nbsp;</P> <P>As the miracle season approached, Coach Barnett pondered about how to take his team to the next level.&nbsp; "Your kids have to believe in the vision," he preached, "so it's all one heartbeat coming at 'em."&nbsp; A new slogan was embraced: Belief Without Evidence.&
