Another great writeup.

"The Wildcats (7-5, 5-4 Big Ten) outlasted the Illini, 45-43, in a game that saw six turnovers, two Northwestern touchdowns within nine seconds ..."

As to the included observation that the Wildcats scored two touchdowns within 9 seconds, is that a first in NCAA Division I (assuming that is still what it is still called) football history for two touchdowns to be scored by a team within ten seconds or less?
