Northwestern took a seemingly commanding 17 to 0 jump against Indiana this morning, then-- as the 'Cats had against Kansas, Air Force, and Minnesota-- watched as the opponent nullified a multiple touchdown lead. This time NU hung on, battling to tie the game and then shutting out the Hoosiers in overtime to win 37 to 31. It is NU's first Big Ten win since their victory over Indiana at Ryan Field last year.

Jason Wright had another game with
over 100 yards rushing. Wright scored four touchdowns...
