Everyone in Scheumann Stadium could’ve guessed who it was going to.
Trailing by a touchdown with just under four minutes left, Ball State forced Northern Illinois into a 3rd-and-6 from the 13-yard line. Fifth-year senior receiver Kenny Golladay had made plays in tight coverage all day, but this time, he found himself wide open off a curl route on the right hash.
First down. Ball game.
Golladay hauled in 13 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns — including the game-winning score with 11:14 left — as Northern Illinois held on for a 31-24 road win on Saturday.
