EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) - Ricky Santos was confident Division I-AA New Hampshire could beat a Big Ten opponent, even on the road.
"All 90 guys in our program felt we could win if we played our game," Santos said Saturday after leading a convincing 34-17 victory over Northwestern. "And that's what we did. We played our game."
Santos scored three touchdowns and threw two TD passes to David Ball as New Hampshire used variety and a no-huddle offense to build a comfortable lead. Then its defense took over by blanking Northwestern in the second half.
"The kids at this level want to prove they can play Division I guys," New Hampshire coach Sean McDonnell said.
