Alston doesn't kick the ball off as deep as usual, and the NU returner brings the ball all the way to the NU33.
Northwestern actually silences the crowd as they beat Serra on a fade and are inside the UT20 yard line. S Briggs picks off an errant pass in the endzone and the crowd comes back to life.
Our ball at the 20, with 2:24 left in the 1st quarter.
A trap off the left side gets Brewster 9, and a slant pass to Everett nets 10 and a first down.
Brewster gains 4 off right guard, and I'm called upon to run a bootleg right. The NU defenders are fooled initially, but the DB's quickly gain ground on me and I end up losing a yard in the process.
It ends the first quarter.
At the end of the 1st quarter, it's UT 21, Northwestern 0.
