You guys played us about as well as anyone has this year. It's a shame that Fluellen got hurt. He's easily the best RB I've seen this year. Campbell is a good head coach who has the potential to be a great one.

Good luck in your bowl game and we'll see you again next hope, hopefully to decide the MAC West once again.

Thank you, classy post. Despite only the 7 point difference, it felt like we got blown out by you guys.

That might have something to do with the 9573 yards our defense gave up.

You mean everyone else rolled over and took it in the @$$ too?

In all seriousness, thanks for the classy post. Good luck to you too. I am jealous of NIU's ability to win big games and reload at key skill positions year after year. You guys really have it going on right now. Congrats.

Good game Toledo. It really could have gone either way with all the turnovers near the red zone. I wish a healthy and speedy recovery to your RB, hell of a player. Good luck in the post season, make the MAC proud. I will be watching.

Thanks. I'm not excited about it. Bottom tier bowl games are no consolation.

From my point of view it didn't look that way. I thought for sure if we didn't run out the clock on that last drive you guys were going to march down the field again in about a minute and a half and score. Still have the jitters from previous NIU-UT contests I guess. Plus we weren't getting much pressure on Owens most of the time so it was reminiscent of our game against Ball State.

Anyway, yards don't help much if you don't score. We were 9 points below our average and I thought based on comments on this board that Toledo had a pretty bad defense. So I figured we would score more than we did.

Toledo is still one of the top 4 in the MAC in what is an unusually strong conference this year.

I don't get why you guys like Owens more than Dantin. It was a break for us that Owens was your QB tonight.

As much as I can't stand you guys, anytime this division isn't decided by NIU/Toledo, it feels wrong. I have a sneaking suspicion it will be 4 years in a row for the MAC West when we meet again.
