BGSU Predictions
I think this game will be closer than we would all like. The Falcons are bad and a much improved Huskies team should beat up on them, but I think some of the few "strengths" the Falcons have are also where the Huskies have weaknesses. Rocky needs to limit turnovers, and the Huskies secondary needs to just flat out be better. It will be close the whole game until the Huskies get a late TD.
NIU- 28
BGSU- 20

RE: BGSU Predictions
I actually think this is one of the games we pull away and defeat by at least 14 points. Maybe even a game where we try out a backup QB due to a big enough lead.

We win via grit. But we still experience growing pains, and as a result are closer than we'd like to be.

RE: BGSU Predictions
This is the passing game we’ve all been waiting for. Rocky throws for 275 and 3 tds. NIU has its best offensive output to date:
NIU - 46
BG - 23

RE: BGSU Predictions
Depends if Rocky is steps up in the passing game. If we are one dimensional NIU 24, BG 22.
If Rocky finds rhythm, touch, and feel NIU 38, BG 17.

RE: BGSU Predictions
I would agree with NIU+10. It is only this close due to pass defense in the secondary. Go Huskies.

RE: BGSU Predictions
Not a good team, but NIU doesn't blow people out start to end.
Close for 3 quarters, then pull away.
31-16 good guys.

It might be more of a fight than we would all like but I think NIU stays in control most of the game and continues to run the ball well. The defense lets up a few TDs but continues their improvement.
See you all there! THE HARD WAY

Huskies pull away in the 4th quarter
Huskies 35
BG 21
If offense clicks, and Lombardi is on target it could get ugly for BG. That’s a big IF though.

RE: BGSU Predictions
Sometimes the "easiest" opponents can be the hardest to beat. The 2013 Huskies, arguably the best NIU team in history, beat Idaho by 7 points, Eastern Illinois by 4, and Akron by 3. Outside of Iowa, another 3 point win, the rest of the games were curb-stomps. The game with Ball State was tied at 27 going into the forth quarter, when NIU pulled away.
I had forgotten how productive Lynch was, even passing. He has 321 yards rushing against WMU, incredible.
After going 12-0, the wheels came off against BG, then the bowl loss to Utah State.
That BG game was probably the worse loss, in terms of impact to the program, in NIU history.

RE: BGSU Predictions
The forecast I saw for Saturday calls for strong NW winds. If that happens and if we can run on them I like our chances on Saturday. I will guess NIU31 ... The Fighting BGs (my son in law's alma matter) 24.
