Butler after scoring a touchdown against Wisconsin during the second half of an NCAA college football game in Evanston, Ill. Bowser appears to be settling in as the Wildcats’ No. 1 running back with back-to-back 100-yard games. He has run for 225 yards and his first three touchdowns the past two weeks after getting just two yards on two attempts in his first three games. He followed up a breakout outing against Rutgers with 117 yards and a TD against Wisconsin. Northwestern plays Notre Dame this week. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh, File)
