There are simply no words to describe it. On a day in which freshmen are fully inducted into campus, a day with so many other games that received far more media attention, the Northwestern Wildcats came back from three touchdowns down to defeat Minnesota in overtime.
It’s almost impossible to imagine. Ben Bryant, who had thrown for just 408 yards in the team’s first three games, threw for an astounding 396 and four touchdowns. Bryce Kirtz, who had just 212 receiving yards total last season, had 215 (third all-time in program history) on this most incredible of nights.
