As of late, NIU football has strung a number of impressive streaks together. The Huskies are touting three separate streaks going into their game Saturday, four technically, if you count their streak against its homecoming game opponent. The Huskies are...

The quarterback has become the single most important position in football. The NFL is predicated on the ability to pass the ball, and fantasy players clamor for the big name gun-slingers. NIU has found itself in prime position to repeat its success from...

There are a lot cliche lines from athletes: “It was a team effort,” “I need to watch the tape,” and my favorite, “One game at a time.” After the loss against Iowa in the opening game of the season, senior defensive end Sean Progar provided...

Behind timely defense and continued excellent output from the quarterback position, NIU football picked up its fifth win of the season in Muncie, Indiana. The Huskies (5-1, 2-0 MAC) defeated the Ball State Cardinals, (3-3, 1-2 MAC) 35-23 as NIU’s defense...

NIU football will face its first road MAC contest Saturday as it heads to Muncie, Ind., to square off with Ball State. The Cardinals (3-2, 1-1 MAC) will be looking to rebound from a close MAC loss against Kent State, while NIU (4-1, 1-0 MAC) will aim...

While there are a myriad of reasons NIU has been able to find success in its running game this season, one that may go overlooked is the tight ends. While seldom incorporated into the passing element of the offense, junior quarterback Jordan Lynch knows...

The football team’s defense has a habit of coming up big. In the first two games of the season, the Huskies defense gave up only one red zone touchdown. Against Army, there was a lot to be desired, but there were several key incidents where the defense...

After being tested multiple times throughout its non-conference schedule, NIU football is ready to focus solely on MAC play for the rest of the season. While the Huskies (3-1) went up against a strong non-conference schedule in two BCS teams in Iowa and...
