PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Northwestern backup quarterback Brendan Sullivan hit a wide-open Caleb Komolafe for a 1-yard touchdown with 19 seconds to play, and the celebration was on.
On the Wildcats sideline, a few players clapped. One punched his fist and said, “Yes!” A purple-clad fan — somebody’s mom, no doubt — shouted praise from the stands about the team not giving up.
That’s it, folks. That’s as exciting as Northwestern’s season opener got.
