Kafka leads Wildcats over Illinois 21-16

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) Mike Kafka spent the third quarter carving up the Illinois' defense and building a 21-3 lead for Northwestern.

When the Wildcats needed a stop to thwart an Illini comeback, Sherrick McManis pulled one out.

Kafka threw for 305 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score, McManis' interception with 32 seconds left was upheld by replay review, and Northwestern defeated the Illini 21-16 on Saturday. (MORE)
