Evan Hull is doing everything he can to keep Northwestern in the game against Duke.

The Northwestern running back scored a touchdown on a 4th & 3 play to bring the Wildcats within one score after missing the extra point.

Usually Hull leads the way in the running game, but he is currently the team’s leader in receiving yards. After his 39-yard score, was down by 5.

All Hull needed was a little bit of separation from the Duke defenders to find his way to the end zone.

Hull and QB Ryan Hilinski are the only players to have scored touchdowns so far for Northwestern. Northwestern may be setting up another 2nd-half comeback once again.

The Wildcats were down 28-17 to Nebraska in the 3rd quarter before scoring 14 unanswered to win the game. Shortly after the Hull touchdown, Duke found a receiver in the back of end zone to make it 28-16.
