@NU_Sports let's go 'cats! a bowl game is in reach! close it out strong, why not 7-5?! #NURice- The officiating crew for the game is a Conference USA-based crew and it features Sarah Thomas, major college football's first female official.

Very cool!

Seems like a perfect day for a 96-yard drive. What do you say, #PersaStrong? #NURice- 96 yards, no problem. The 'Cats scored in three plays culminating with the second longest pass play in school history, a 90-yard strike from Dan Persa to Jeremy Ebert.
