On Saturday, Dec. 18, the No. 2 Rangers featuring First Team All-Americans Dustin Loveless, Daryl Rich- “finished business” with a 34-26 victory over No. 1 Georgetown ardson and Lynn Scott - took care of the rest. Richardson was (KY) College in the NAIA National Championship Game. North- named Defensive Player of the Game after recording three sacks western trailed 20-0 at halftime, thanks in part to three turnovers, and recovering a pair of crucial fumbles. With the win, Northwest- but the its run-heavy option attack eventually wore down a highly ern capped off a remarkable season that included a school-record touted Tiger defense. The Rangers scored 21-unanswered in the 13 victories without a defeat and the first postseason victories in third quarter to take a 21-20 lead. Quarterback Al Hunt ran for a Northwestern history.
