Live updates: Late drive comes up short as Huskers fall to Northwestern | Football



12:58 p.m. Wildcats back on top. Northwestern returned the second-half kickoff 40 yards, and later John Raine caught a two-yard pass on a play action to give Northwestern a 14-13 lead over the Huskers.

1:25 p.m. Adrian Martinez throws an interception in the end zone. We’ll let our Parker Gabriel describe it: “Terrible decision by Adrian Martinez there. Had the TE early, saw it late, threw it back to the middle late. A big no-no results in a costly interception.”

… but the Blackshirts hang tough and force a three-and-out.

1:42 p.m. Luke McCaffrey took the reins at quarterback and the Huskers attempted a flea flicker that went for negative yardage and eventually forced a punt.

Then, the NU coverage team allowed a 30-plus yard punt return. Northwestern capitalized on a Riley Lees TD run to extend its lead to 21-13 in the fourth quarter.

1:53 p.m. A Northwestern pass interference call puts Nebraska on the Wildcat 2, but Luke McCaffrey throws an interception on a tipped pass and the Wildcats take over, leading 21-13 with under six minutes left in the game.

2:12 p.m. Nebraska gets down the field but Luke McCaffrey’s fourth-down pass in the end zone is incomplete with 1 second left. Northwestern will win 21-13.
