After scoring a touchdown against Oregon last week, Javon Tracy continued his hot streak when he finished with four catches for 87 yards and a career-high 3 touchdowns in Minnesota's 38-35 loss to Northwestern on Saturday.
NU partially staunched the bleeding in the third quarter, as the team held Lindsey to 31 yards. However, Lindsey threw another touchdown pass to Tracy for 28 yards. However, Minnesota’s QB was back at it in the fourth, tossing an eight-yard score to Le’Meke Brockington.
