The running back situation for NIU football has been part of an ongoing evolution all season long. With the loss of Jamal Womble, the injuries to Leighton Settle and Keith Harris Jr. and the eventual emergence of Akeem Daniels, one player has kept his...
While quarterback Jordan Lynch was the prime source of offense during the course of the regular season, expect to see an increased role in the Orange Bowl from running back Akeem Daniels. With running backs Leighton Settle and Keith Harris both ruled...
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...

“Looks can be deceiving” is a good way to describe NIU’s first MAC game of the season. While NIU (4-1, 1-0 MAC) trampled over Central Michigan (2-2, 0-1 MAC) at the end of the game, defeating them 55-24, the two teams were separated by six points...

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...
In the upcoming game against Tennessee-Martin, NIU football will be eager to get on the field to rebound after its loss last week. For NIU to be able to come up with a victory, it will obviously need to be a team effort all around. However, there will...
