Northwestern Football Top Ten 2015 Highlights #8

#8: Clayton Thorson's 16 yard run vs Purdue. On the surface, this play may seem inconsequential, but the circumstances make this play special. Northwestern had played a terrible game up to this point and they were tied at 14 with Purdue. Clayton Thorson had been benched earlier in the game, and soon after coming coming back he faced 3rd and 13 from the Purdue 37 with 6:22 remaining in the game. Thorson took the snap and scrambled to his left; when he got to the line of scrimmage, he cut back to his right. To top it off a defender hit him a yard short of the first down, and Thorson dragged the defender the final four yards to pick up the first down and more.
