The Northern Illinois Huskies scored the game-winning touchdown with under a minute remaining after quarterback Justin Lynch led the team on a fantastic drive.
Lynch, who backed up Nevan Cremascoli for most of the game, went under center with NIU trailing 21-17 and just 3:13 left in the game. On the first play of the drive, he took off on a designed run, got to the edge, and out-ran the Bronco defense for a 52-yard gain. The big play set him up for a 9-yard TD run four plays later, giving the Huskies a 24-21 lead with just 56 seconds remaining.
