Caleb Komolafe rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown as Northwestern slipped past winless UCLA 17-14 on Saturday afternoon in Big Ten play at Evanston, Ill.

Preston Stone completed 12 of 18 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown without an interception, guiding a balanced attack for Northwestern (2-2, 1-1 Big Ten).

Joseph Himon II carried eight times, accounting for 58 of the Wildcats' 199 yards on the ground against the nation's worst rushing defense among power conference schools.

While it was an unsuccessful debut for interim head coach Tim Skipper, UCLA (0-4, 0-1) made an inspired comeback after trailing by 17 points late in the first half.

Skipper replaced DeShaun Foster after the Bruins' 35-10 loss at home to New Mexico two weeks ago.
