1:05 p.m.: For those of you who might be wondering who "RW" is and why there are two purple, black and white ribbons painted on the field, they are in honor of former Northwestern coach Randy Walker, who died this summer of a sudden heart attack.

Northwestern played in the 2005 Sun Bowl against UCLA. It was the last game Walker coached before his death.
