Different matchups though. Ohio can’t really throw, Toledo could. I don’t see teams who can’t throw (WMU, Ohio) giving NIU’s defense a lot of trouble.

Yeah, we have the 10th ranked rushing defense in terms of yards per game. Strangely enough, Ohio is 11th. Toledo is 92nd after getting torched by Ohio. Regardless, any NIU/Ohio game would likely be a LOS ground game battle and then whichever QB can hit on a few big plays.

That wouldn't bode well for us either.

Probably not...but looking at the Ohio-Toledo game transitively for an NIU-Ohio game probably doesn't work very well.

True. Once again it will depend on whether we can get a lot of pressure on Rourke. We didn't against Woodside and got shredded. Not saying Rourke is as good of a passer, but he might not have to be.
