Northwestern got the ball coming out of the locker room at halftime, and took very little time capitalizing, moving 80 yards in 11 plays, taking 3:46 off the clock. Their drive concluded with a 1-yard touchdown run by Jacob Schmidt.
However, Northwestern kicker Stefan Demos shanked the extra point to the left, and as a result the Gophers still have a lead.
With 11:14 left in the third quarter, Minnesota leads Northwestern 21-20.
