Colin Becht -

First play from scrimmage, Darius Willis takes it 70 yards to the house. Great defensive start for the 'Cats.

11:06

Nathan Lipkin - The 'Cats will take over at their own 29-yard line. Our "seasoned" defense should know that you can't let the running back get around the corner like that. A simple breakdown in discipline and Northwestern faces an early hole. Let's see what Kafka can do.

11:07

Nathan Lipkin - Not much, apparently. After a rare drop by wide receiver Zeke Markshausen, Stefan Demos will have to punt it away to the Hoosiers. Indiana will start at its own 38-yard line with plenty of momentum.

11:15

Colin Becht - 'Cats D showing a little more intensity on Indiana's second drive. Corey Wooton provided some nice pressure and got himself a sack. That sack gets the 'Cats the ball back at their own 1 yard line after a beautiful punt.

11:27

Colin Becht - 'Cats drive stalls at their own 32. Northwestern continues to use the rugby-style punt to little effectiveness, as Ray Fisher returned the low punt to the Northwestern 28-yard line.

11:31

Nathan Lipkin - The Hoosiers score again as Ben Chappell pounds it in on the goal line. The 'Cats are really starting to dig themselves into an early hole with unacceptable special teams play, along with a slow and ineffective offense.

11:36

Colin Becht - Northwestern continues to get nothing going on offense, leading to another three-and-out. At least the special teams was more effectice this time as the 'Cats down Stephen Demos' punt at the Indiana 24.
