I’m not going to discredit any work done by anyone, but NIU football has a much stiffer test coming next week than this week. In my opinion, the game against Tennessee-Martin and this upcoming game against Army are all but free passes. I believe in...
Last week, I opined that NIU’s offensive playcalling and playmaking abilities were one-dimensional. This week, it seemed anything but. In the match-up with Iowa, NIU did all they could to nearly pull off a victory, despite only having 55 yards passing....
NIU football’s home opener was a game of many firsts. It was the first home game, the first victory of the season, and it saw a plethora of personal firsts for many Huskies. Behind junior quarterback’s Jordan Lynch’s stalwart effort, NIU (1-1) routed...

A common belief in sports is that once a team wins a championship, there is this mysterious hangover effect that prevents them from being good again next season. As of now, there is no known cure for said hangover. Perhaps it’s a real thing, perhaps...
From Falkirk, Scotland, to DeKalb, junior striker James Stevenson looks to become a focal point of the Huskies attack. Coming off of a six goal, 15-point season in 2011, Stevenson has become one of the most dangerous players on offense this season. Although...
For NIU football, the first home game was a story of two halves, or, more realistically, three and a half quarters. The Huskies (0-1) suffered a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Iowa (1-0) by a score of 18-17, in the season opener at Soldier Field...
