Fresh off a Malu04e7rt Bowl victory, the ‘Cats took to Ryan Field for one final time this year. After falling behind 21-0,Northwestern was simply too outclassed by the Golden Gophers to make the comeback. Here are five takeaways from Northwestern’s unsurprising but unfortunate Senior Day loss to Minnesota:
Yesterday, Joe Gaziano played his final game at Ryan Field and simultaneously cemented his name in the Northwestern record books.
Following a fantastic 67 yard punt by Andrew David which pinned the Gophers at their own six, Gaziano sacked Tanner Morgan for a six yard loss, recording Northwestern’s first points of the game thanks to forcing intentional grounding from the Minnesota end zone and becoming the ‘Cats’ all-time sacks leader in the process by reaching 29 sacks across his legendary career.
