I honestly think NIU players saw the Toledo score during half time and lost all motivation for the second half.

I don't think there is any doubt about that regarding the letdown after seeing the Toledo result.

There should be PLENTY of motivation for NIU this year vs CMU. The game is sandwiched between games which some would say are not winnable, so you have to get on the board in that game. And just breaking the CMU curse should be motivation enough.

And then they carried their lack of motivation all the way to the Quick Lanes Bowl.

Why wasn't breaking the CMU curse enough motivation last year?

Good question.

Certainly a good question. Something toxic seems to have permeated the team at the end of last year. That whole Quick Lane experience from announcement to game was probably the most embarrassed I have ever been to be a Huskie fan since I was a Huskie fan.
