With a trio of carries, Sutton is over 100 yards in the first half. Facing 3rd and 4 with 1:05 left, Syracuse calls a timeout. Greg Robinson's defense looks exasperated after one half.
Bacher completes to Rasheed Ward on a timing route - for 13 yards. Under a minute left to play. Completes to Lane for 5 yards. NU uses its second timeout with 43 seconds left in the half.
Our school commercial appears with a shot of the library, a trombone, a Medill classroom, Crowe cafe, and a crowd of girls giving two thumbs up on an alcohol-free tailgating table. North-Wes-Tern University.
Bacher is flushed out of the pocket and gets out of bounds for a loss of one. NU faces a 3rd and 6 with 36 seconds left in the half, at the NU 46. Bacher misfires to Brewer, and Stefan Demos will punt for a fifth time.
He's 5-for-5 inside the 20. Syracuse returns it five yards to their own 17.
Robinson takes a QB draw and that's the end of the first half.
Thoughts: NU lost three 4th-quarter leads last season. With the no-huddle offense in play, the Cats' offense not only profits, but the defense does as well. Can't hurt to have opponents gassed for a change.
