Thorson’s Throws: A tale of two halves

Clayton Thorson’s final Big Ten game didn’t go quite as he wanted it to, but I still think the Wildcat offense has some things to be proud of. I was pleasantly surprised that NU put up 24 points against Ohio State, even though the Buckeye defense isn’t especially good. Still, the game could have been a lot closer if NU had executed a couple plays and held onto the ball better. Alas.

Here’s the play-by-play and the breakdown:
