The Huskies are rolling and I'm ready for some MAC West play. On defense, the Huskies should be able to create a couple turnovers. Roback has 8 INTs already and has thrown one in every game but one. I expect the offense to take a step back this week against a stout Eagles defense. Look for a low scoring game.

EMU- 13
NIU- 24

Go Huskies

NIU 28
EMU 6

Peaking at the right time

NIU: 20
EMU: 10

EMU has some talent and a good coach. Tough game. Huskies score late win 21-17.

Sounds about right and I'd take that victory.

Gametime temps in lower 50s, dry with 8 mph winds.

can anyone tell me, or point me to a source, on who from EMU is banged up and not likely to play? I thought I read on a post here over the past days their QB has a leg issue, does anyone know on that?

Line opened at -8 EMU, dropped to -7. Thought it would be higher.

The only way we cover-8 is if the defense and/or special teams give us a TD.

Teams are going to have to pick their poison against NIU. Stop Huff, Childers will run effectively. Stack the box? Childers will pick you apart. He should've had 300 yards passing without the drops. He should have run for a lot more than 100 yards if not for the hold. And of course our defense will wreak havoc on their offense. We roll 41-13.

Wow if that score verified, Id be slightly more optimistic about NIU remaining at least competitive with Toledo

That's one way of looking at it; or 72 of his yards came on an absolute ridiculous catch; and each of his deep passes (all of which were incomplete) had a far better chance of being picked than caught. Childers has played very well; but the competition has been awful. BG just lost to Miami (BGSU 'a only win). You may want to reconsider the 41 points; I would love to be wrong.

EMU will most definitely stack the box. Not sure Childers will make them pay for it. EMU's defense is pretty stout.

Do you people think team's haven't watched film on NIU the last 5 years?

They're always stacking the box.

Offense continues to make strides and defense continues to dominate
