NIU has been playing without Rocky Lombardi at QB since the 2nd qtr of loss to Vandy. That was followed by a relatively close loss to Kentucky and yesterday to Ball State. Last year they won all the tight games, this year they are losing the close games. Lombardi has a knee issue and was a game time decision against Ball State - which became a No-Go for the game. I expect he will try to go against Toledo and will also likely be playing with a brace to protect the knee. He's a big guy with strong arm and runs well. Tough to bring down. Brace on the knee and the injury lingering will likely hamper his running ability. The back up has done fairly well with a high QBR, but hasn't been able to get a "W".

i guess we'll know more as the week progresses on whether Lombardi can play next week.

According to an article I read by Kyle Rowland Lombardi is done for the season.
