Evan Hull stepped to the podium with a certain sense of swagger.
When asked about the impact of his 119 yard, two touchdown day on his confidence, he cracked wise. “Well, I know what 20 carries feels like now,” he said through a wide grin.
Indeed, Hull had a busy day, toting the rock 23 times throughout Northwestern’s 24-6 victory over Indiana State, with 10 carries in the first quarter alone for 71 yards and a score. The redshirt sophomore led the Wildcats’ pack of running backs, featuring himself, true first-year Anthony Tyus III and Bowling Green grad transfer Andrew Clair, as the group shouldered the load of NU’s offensive production against their FCS foe, the Sycamores.
