  Momentum. Drive times opportunity. Heart times hard work. Those are some of the staple phrases in Nebraska's national television spot. Such narration could also be used to describe Northwestern junior quarterback Ryan Hilinski's performance against the Cornhuskers on Saturday. "I was just excited to go out there and play with the guys because man, we've been through a lot this offseason and we're just excited to get out there and play football again," Hilinski said. "Show the people who the Wildcats are and they don't forget again." Hilinski, who didn't find out he was the starter until right before kickoff, was a man on a mission in Dublin.

His offseason preparation and confidence both internally and in offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian's playbook was evident early in the game. He started out a perfect 8-for-8 before an incomplete pass around three minutes into the second quarter. His next pass? A 41-yard touchdown throw to senior wideout Raymond Niro III. The highlight was a much-needed boost for NU after opening the 75-yard drive down 14-3 and on the backfoot against the Cornhuskers. "At the end of the day it was (about) playing within myself, playing within the offense," Hilinski said of his early start. "Coach Bajakian called a great game. That opening script we had was great and made me feel really calm." - The Daily Northwestern
