HuskersHQ: Northwestern's 'Cardiac 'Cats' never give up 12/29/00 Quote:
Already having overcome a 23-17 deficit in the fourth quarter, Northwestern trailed Wisconsin 34-31 with 51 seconds to play. But the Wildcats tied the game on Tim Long's 46-yard field goal on the final play of regulation and went on to beat the Badgers 47-44 in double overtime on Damien Anderson's 12-yard touchdown run.
Trailing Minnesota 35-14 with 5:34 remaining in the third quarter, Northwestern scored 27 unanswered points and converted on four fourth-down plays to steal a 41-35 victory. The Wildcats won on quarterback Zak Kustok's 45-yard TD pass to Sam Simmons on the final play of the game. Simmons was standing in the end zone when he caught a ball that was tipped by teammate Kunle Patrick.
Trailing Michigan late in the game, Northwestern cornerback Raheem Covington recovered a fumble to give his team one last chance. The Wildcats cashed in on the opportunity as Kustok hit Simmons for an 11-yard scoring pass with 20 seconds to play, giving Northwestern a 54-51 win.
