Due to the weather, Northwestern went with a controlled practice indoors instead of a spring game Saturday morning.

No matter, BTN was there to capture some of the highlights, and to talk to a couple of the key participants.

The Wildcats open the 2016 season Saturday, Sept. 3 vs. Western Michigan at Ryan Field.

Watch highlights from Northwestern's practice in the video above and check out our interviews with head coach Pat Fitzgerald and quarterback Clayton Thorson below.
