With not more than a few hundred people watching, NU takes the opening kick back to the 18. NU has struggled a bit on third downs but converted their first one today, as Bacher hits Lane on a pass on third and 2. Then he passes to a wide-open Rasheed Ward for 17 yard pickup on third and 10 to move across midfield. However, NU can't convert its third third-down play of the drive, as Bacher throws low.
Villareal hits a 35-yard field goal to put the Cats up 3-0 with 11:19 to go in the first quarter.
Analysis: The Cats moved the ball well on their opening drive but C.J. missed on a couple of throws. You have to wonder if a wet ball had anything to do with it, although he's been a little wild all season. Still, NU scores first for the first time this season. Not a bad start.
