• Josh Vander Maten threw for 189 yards, but the Coyotes managed just 51 on the ground and fell to 2-26 against the Big Ten.
• Northwestern had no trouble finding the end zone after struggling to get there the previous week against Boston College. This time, the Wildcats scored touchdowns on their first two possessions, and Mark was the one setting the tone.
• He broke off a 47-yard run on the game's second play from scrimmage and capped the opening drive by carrying it in from the 4, a good start after he sat out the final quarter the previous week with a lower body injury. Things just got better for Mark and the Wildcats after that.
• Tyris Jones scored on a 5-yard run on their next possession after Siemian and Tony Jones connected on a 42-yard gain, and it became a 21-point game midway through the second quarter.
• Northwestern started on its 43 after a 17-yard punt by Cole Zwiefelhofer and quickly took advantage. Colter scrambled 24 yards, and Mark finished the drive, crashing through the line for a 6-yard touchdown that made it 21-0.
• Things got worse for South Dakota in the closing minutes of the half.
• Vander Maten wasn't ready for the snap, and the ball hit him in the knees. Northwestern took over, and Mark scored on a 4-yard run.
• It was an encouraging start for the Wildcats, but the work is just beginning.
• "What IU's doing is completely different from what we saw from South Dakota today on both sides of the ball," Fitzgerald said. "Are we going to really get after it and really prepare the way that championship teams do and the way that mature teams do? Or are we just going to be fat and sassy that we won a couple games here in the non-conference?"

• TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) -- Zach Zenner ran for 237 yards and a touchdown to lead South Dakota State past Indiana State 24-10 on Saturday in the Missouri Valley Conference opener for both schools.
• Zenner's 57-yard run in the second quarter gave the Jackrabbits (3-1) a 10-0 lead. In four games this season, the sophomore has run for 895 yards, with his lowest output being 183 in the season opener at Kansas. With 29 carries on Saturday, he maintained his season average of 8.4 yards per rush.
• Austin Sumner completed just six passes for SDSU, but one went for a TD to Seth Daughters. Shakir Bell scored the only touchdown for the Sycamores (2-2) on a 2-yard run. Mike Perish threw for 219 yards but South Dakota State held Indiana State to 23 rushing yards.
