I may be wrong but I believe that Turner got to play because of the heart condition discovered with Hammock after the Wake Forest game. Hammock was a great runner and could have been one of the best at NIU.

Sorry to see the lack of maturity being shown here by many over the last several days. Mostly done by people who have never been in the spotlight of public scrutiny. I will take his (Joe Novak's) body of work over any of yours (speaking to the morons that can only express their thoughts with vulgarity). Come back some day and show us how well you do as an adult taking a company in desperate times and moving it forward as well as Joe has with the NIU football program. It was not easy evaluating talent and convincing that talent like Hammock, Fleck, Haldi, Cielslak, Hurd, McCareins,Turner, Diem, etc to come to NIU. Especially with the god awful facilities that we had at the time. And along with that he has had to put up with a revolving door of assistant coaches that leave for better jobs (more money). Is he the perfect coach? No but he has proven to be one of the best that we could have ever hoped for. Some of you should be so lucky to become half the man that Joe Novak is.
