San Diego, Calif. – The Northwestern Wildcats rallied to upset the No. 20 Utah Utes, 31-20, behind three third-quarter turnovers that the Wildcats converted into 21 points in the 41st rendition of the Holiday Bowl.

Unfortunately, for the Utes, redshirt freshman quarterback Jason Shelley misfired on a couple of long pass attempts, including one that looked to be a surefire TD had he hit his wide-open target.
