Quarterback Clayton Thorson threw a beautiful ball for J. J. Jefferson, who obviously laid out and made a spectacular catch. Northwestern now leads 14-3 in the second quarter and the game can be watched on FS1.
Prior to this dime from Thorson, he threw a 77-yard TD pass to Kyric McGowan.
Thorson, through just a quarter and a half, has completed 13-of-17 passes for 211 yards and 2 TD.
