It's cold and VA has a bottom 1/3 rush defense vs. #2 rushing offense. VA has #125 rushing offense. Also helps to be playing a home game.

We just gave up a sixth home game in 2017 to get a $600k cash payment to keep the athletic department from having layoffs. NIU is broke and I haven't seen the anti-Carey crowd putting meat behind their words with donations to make such a buyout financially possible.

Pretty sure it was 1.3 mil for the FSU game. Which we honestly had to do IMO. Also might allow for Frazier to offer a bit more on the football salaries

We did have a bunch of players miss the game for injuries so I'm sure that made it harder. That doesn't explain the second half of the CMU game though, not sure what happened there.

NIU Opponents
BC - Bowl game loss
Neb - No bowl game
SD St - Bowl Game loss
Toledo - Bowl Game loss
CMU - Bowl Game loss
WMU - No Bowl game
EMU - No Bowl game
BSU - No Bowl game
BG - No Bowl game
Buffalo - No Bowl game
KSU - No Bowl game

Not very impressive.
