CHICAGO (AP) — Jack Olsen’s third field goal of the game, from 33 yards, snapped a tie with 53 seconds left and Northwestern ended a three-game losing streak with a wild 38-35 win over Minnesota at Wrigley Field on Saturday.

Olsen’s boot capped a 14-play, 60-yard drive as Northwestern rebounded from a 28-13 third-quarter deficit. Minnesota’s Brady Denaburg’s 40-yard field-goal attempt as time expired went wide to the left, and the Wildcats (6-5, 4-4 Big Ten) held on for their first victory ever at the historic home of the Chicago Cubs in eight tries dating to 1923.

“It think you saw two football team that are awfully resilient and that are willing to duke it out for four quarters,” Northwestern coach David Braun said. “I’m really proud of our finish.”
