Looking back, all three games had big opportunities to blow it. Rather than finding ugly ways to lose, they are making the big plays to win!

Northwestern
Adversity - TD taken away by bad call by referee.
Comeback – James Manuel makes pick 6!

Adversity – Bad interference call extends drive and gets Northwestern to within a field goal.
Comeback – Offense makes two big 1st downs and run the clock out.

Nebraska
Adversity – Gophers falls behind by 10 to a team that has beaten them 16 times in a row.
Comeback – Gophers score next 17 points.

Adversity – Philip Nelson short arms pass to Maxx Williams forcing the Gophers to punt the ball back to Nebraska with only a 4 point lead.
Comeback – Defense comes through with a big stop and offense scores to put it away!

Indiana
Adversity – Team blows 22 point lead.
Comeback – Offense comes back with big touchdown drive including a big 19 yard reception by freshman Donovahn Jones.

Adversity – Defense lets Indiana move the ball right down the field to the 9 yard line.
Comeback – Brock Vereen and Aaron Hill combine on a big forced fumble/recovery to save the victory.
 



Northwestern, Nebraska, Indiana
adversity - more than a TD underdog
comeback - come from behind to win in all three!
