The Northwestern Wildcats stormed back from a 17-point deficit to score a 31-20 New Year's Eve victory over the Utah Utes on Monday in the 2018 Holiday Bowl at SDCCU Stadium in San Diego, California.
Northwestern (9-5) extended its winning streak in bowl games to three with the massive comeback. The Wildcats' defense led the charge by forcing six turnovers, including four in the third quarter, after the Wildcats fell behind 14-0 in first.
Utah (9-5) dropped its first bowl game since 2010 but still owns a 14-2 record in bowls since 1999, which included five straight wins entering Monday's contest.
