This is an insane post. Going 9-4 in a year where they played Iowa, Utah, FSU, and BYU out of conference is a ****** year?
Get a hold of yourself, my god.
As somebody else pointed out, here’s a reminder that the Orange Bowl team lost to Iowa and FSU too. And before somebody points out FSU is much worse than that year (duh), Iowa has already matched their win total from that year. Oh yeah, and Utah just beat the hell out of Stanford AT Stanford on Saturday.
Some of you people are beyond delusional.
BYU is very beatable, they got smoked by UT ST at home last weekend losingby 4 td's. NIU coudl very well go 9-3 regular saeason this year. I think what dissapooints though is that the Huskies had a chance to grab headlines and beat Utah at home, the D put on a incredible effort and it just didn't happen.
[insert non-conference team] is beatable. We heard the same things about Iowa, FSU, and Utah then we lost to each one of them because our offense is atrocious. Utah State beat BYU so badly because they actually have an offense (averaging over 50 ppg). Until we develop even an average offense, BYU is likely going to beat us. This program under Carey has not shown it is capable of beating teams with a pulse.
The teams prior to Carey couldn’t beat a team with a pulse either. The problem is NIU is playing wayyyyyy more pulsating teams these days.
There is one legit P5 win on NIUs resume and that’s Maryland in 2003 under Novak. One so-so win over Iowa in 2013 under Carey. Prior to Carey the other p5 wins were over 3 or 4 win teams. That’s how we scheduled. There were a bunch of p5 losses as well.
