Joseph Himon made the big plays for Northwestern on Saturday, supplying what was needed in the 26-20 overtime over Purdue.
With the score tied at 3-3 late in the first quarter, he scored on a 51-yard touchdown run, breaking a tackle at the line of scrimmage, then evading tacklers on his sprint to the end zone.
But his biggest play came in overtime.
Facing fourth-and-6 at the 22-yard line, Himon caught the game-winning pass from quarterback Jack Lausch to secure the overtime victory.
That scoring catch has been chosen as the U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish “Catch of the Week.”
For the game, Himon caught three passes for 34 yards and the touchdown and ran for 78 yards and the first-quarter score. Lausch completed 23 of 35 passes for 250 yards and the game-winning throw.
Remember … for the tailgate tent or the pre-game party, U. S. Farm-Raised Catfish is always “the winning catch.”
The Catfish Institute, or TCI, was formed in 1986 by catfish farmers and feed manufacturers to raise consumer awareness of the positive qualities of U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish. Since its formation, U.S. per capita consumption has more than doubled.
U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish is a sustainable and environmentally friendly seafood product. The National Audubon Society, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Environmental Defense all recommend U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish as a safe environmental choice. To find out more, visit www.uscatfish.com
