The Wildcats played poorly for most of the game, but were able to prevail for their third win in a row.
EVANSTON -- For the second game in as many weeks, the Northwestern Wildcats struggled for the vast majority of the day and did not look like a Top 25 team. However, they, like last week, were able to withstand a mid-game quarterback change, beating the Purdue Boilermakers 21-14 at Ryan Field on Senior Day Saturday.
A pair of Warren Long touchdowns plus a second half Justin Jackson score provided the entirety of the scoring for the Wildcats, who struggled with an anemic passing game all afternoon.
