Nearly everyone can reminisce on times of either tossing the football with your dad or seeing other people do it. Football is a national tradition, a lovely time where people get together, eat and drink things that are horrendous for your body, and scream...

Say what you want about the defensive effort of NIU against Army, there is one factor that cannot be questioned from that game: effort. The Huskies were able to face adversity on several different levels in their contest with the Black Knights and overcome,...

Given the fact that NIU only possessed the ball for 17:27 of a 60 minute game, a victory seemed improbable going off that statistic. However, the Huskies (2-1) needed little time to put up their 41 points, but struggled throughout the game on defense...

Quarterback: At quarterback the focal point will be Jordan Lynch once again. What will be interesting to watch for is the situation Lynch will be placed in. In the last game against Tennessee-Martin, Lynch rushed far fewer times than against Iowa, and...

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...
