As the Wildcats look to play spoiler against the Fighting Irish on Saturday, we decided to revisit Northwestern’s 2014 comeback against Notre Dame by talking to some of the Northwestern players who made the upset possible. All quotes came via phone interviews from the past week.
Northwestern needed a play.
Down 40-37 and on defense with 1:36 left to play in the game at Notre Dame Stadium, cornerback Ibraheim Campbell and safety Jimmy Hall knew it was now or never for the ‘Cats.
Thankfully though, having spent the past five years together at NU as roommates and teammates, the two were ready for this kind of moment.
