EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) - Stefan Demos kicked a 19 - yard field goal
with 21 seconds left Saturday and Northwestern completed a comeback
from a 25 - point deficit to beat Indiana 29 - 28.
The Wildcats, 5 - 3, 2 - 2 in the Big Ten, trailed 28 - 3 in the second quarter after Indiana used a 70 - yard touchdown run from Darius Willis on the game's first scrimmage play and a 93 - yard kickoff return from Ray Fisher to build the big lead.
But Mike Kafka shook off three second - half interceptions and
helped the Wildcats stage their comeback.
Kafka hit Andrew Brewer on a 51 - yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter to cap a 98 - yard drive that started after Indiana failed to score on a fourth - and - goal from Northwestern's on yard line. That got Northwestern to within 28 - 26.
The Hoosiers gambled again on fourth - and - 3 in the fourth quarter
from the Northwestern 33, but a pass from Ben Chappell was tipped
away.
