On Saturday September 9, 2023, I attended a college football game in Evanston, Illinois at Ryan Field. The University of Texas at El Paso Miners took on the Northwestern Wildcats on a gorgeous September day. UTEP got off to a quick start scoring a touchdown on its opening drive with Zach Fryar receving a 4 yard pass from Gavin Hardison. Northwestern scored its own touchdown later in the first quarter with a 6 yard run by Jack Lausch. The teams remained tied going into halftime. Northwestern came into the second half ready to play and went on to score 5 unanswered touchdowns leading to a 38 to 7 Northwestern victory. Northwestern quarterback Ben Bryant finished with 116 yards in 17 attempts along with a passing touchdown. Northwestern quarterback Ryan Hillinski also saw action and completed 1 pass for 85 yards and a touchdown.
