EVANSTON, Ill. -- Justin Jackson ran his way into the Northwestern record books in just three seasons and could finish his career as the schools all-time leading rusher.Still, he is content right now to share the running back position with emerging newcomer John Moten.Jackson rushed for 173 yards and three touchdowns, Moten added 128 yards and two touchdowns and Northwestern became bowl eligible with a 42-21 victory over Illinois on Saturday.Its cool, Jackson said. I think Johns come a long way. Hes obviously shown the player he can be. Its pretty exciting.Clayton Thorson completed 13 of 20 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown as the Wildcats improved to 6-6 and 5-4 in the Big Ten.Im excited that I get one more opportunity to be with them on the field in a game, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said.The first couple of weeks certainly didnt look good, but its a credit to the seniors we were able to come back.Wes Lunt completed 28 of 54 passes for 377 yards and two touchdowns (with one interception) for Illinois (3-9, 2-7), which closed out its first season under coach Lovie Smith with three straight losses.We have an idea of what we need to do and what direction we need to go in all areas, Smith said. This is the start. You dont like to be in this situation, but thats normally how it happens.After trailing 21-0, Illinois rallied for two touchdowns to pull within 21-14 at halftime and appeared headed for a game-tying score on its first possession of the second half when things fell apart.First, running back Reggie Corbin fumbled at the 8-yard line and safety Godwin Igwebuike recovered to give the ball -- and momentum -- back to Northwestern.Two plays later, Illinois safety Stanley Green was ejected after a targeting penalty for a hit on wide receiver Flynn Nagel. The 15-yard penalty (on top of the 10-yard completion) advanced the ball to the NU 46. Jackson then broke a 54-yard scoring run to make it 28-14 with 9:24 remaining in the third quarter.Leading 35-21 early in the fourth quarter, Northwestern put the game away on a 4-yard TD run by Jackson. The score was set up by a 66-yard interception return by Montre Hartage to the 5.THE TAKEAWAYIllinois: The Illinis 28 first-time starters this season heading into Saturday were the most in the nation, which is a sign the program is in the early stages of a rebuilding plan. To have any chance of flipping the record next season, more consistent offensive production is a must. Lunts 19-yard TD pass to Malik Turner in the second was the Illinis first TD in nine quarters.Northwestern: Although its a far cry from last years 10 wins, winning two of the final three games to become bowl eligible is an accomplishment for a program that doesnt take winning for granted -- especially after losing to Western Michigan and Illinois State to start the season.MOVING UPJackson moved into second place on NUs all-time rushing list -- passing Darnell Autry (3,793) and Tyrell Sutton (3,886) -- with 3,905 yards. Jackson, who has 27 career rushing TDs, trails only Damien Anderson (4,485).Its pretty cool, Jackson said. Theres obviously a history of good running backs coming through here. Im just glad we could get a win on a day like this.1-2 PUNCHMoten, a redshirt freshman, set the tone with two first-quarter touchdowns, including a 43-yarder. Jackson answered with three of his own, including a mesmerizing 54-yarder.He said his long run was aided by watching. Sometimes you can see stuff from the sidelines you dont necessarily see on the field, he said. I saw some things from his long runs and applied it when I was on the field.INJURIESIllinois running back Kendrick Foster suffered an apparent right-leg injury on the third play from scrimmage and did not return. Foster took the handoff and immediately dropped to the ground -- without being touched -- for a 1-yard loss.UP NEXTIllinois: The Illinis season is over.Northwestern: The regular season is over, but the Wildcats will make a second straight bowl appearance.

SAN FRANCISCO -- One of Arizonas hottest hitters over the past month, Jake Lamb caught a break when Giants right fielder Gregor Blanco dropped his fly ball in the fifth inning.Lamb created some good fortune of his own three innings later when he lined a one-out single to right to end Madison Bumgarners bid for a no-hitter.That was as good as it got for manager Chip Hales ballclub.Bumgarner matched a career high with 14 strikeouts and faced just one over the minimum to lead San Francisco over the Diamondbacks 4-0 on Sunday night.The longer that no-hitter goes on, the harder it is to get that hit to break it up, Hale said after the Diamondbacks were swept for the seventh time this season. Very clutch at-bat for (Lamb) at that point. When youre scratching for anything, thats a heck of an at-bat.The Diamondbacks were definitely scratching all night.Bumgarner (10-4) retired 25 of the 28 batters he faced, including two double plays, and walked one while going the distance for the third time this season. San Franciscos four-time All-Star was nearly untouchable while notching his fourth career one-hitter.I didnt feel the pressure, Lamb said. Hes one of the better pitchers in the game, youve got to give him credit. He pitched a good game. I went in with just as much confidence and swung at that slider over the middle of the plate and put a good swing on it.The Diamondbacks have lost four straight and 12 of the last 14.BBumgarner made it look easy Sunday.ddddddddddddThe Giants lefty fanned Arizonas first five hitters twice apiece, and the Diamondbacks didnt hit a ball out of the infield until Lambs fly ball in the fifth.After Lambs single in the eighth, Bumgarner got Brandon Drury to ground into an inning-ending double play.Rickie Weeks Jr. drew a leadoff walk in the ninth, but Bumgarner retired Nick Ahmed on an infield pop-up then got Jean Segura to ground into a game-ending double play.I dont think a one-hit shutout ever stings, Bumgarner said. It felt good. It felt good all the way around.Brandon Crawford drove in three runs with a sacrifice fly in the first and a two-run single in the seventh. Buster Posey added three hits including an RBI single in the first off.BRADLEYS DROUGHT CONTINUESDiamondbacks starter Archie Bradley (3-5) pitched well in Bumgarners shadow but took the loss, his second straight, and is winless since June 19. The right-hander allowed two runs over seven innings with six strikeouts and two walks.He did a great job but he got behind in the count a little bit early on, Hale said. He did a good job dancing around (trouble). I thought he did his best at the end.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: Arizona returns home and will open a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday.
