i don't know how anybody could disagree with that. He's been somewhat quiet this year but he's proven to be the go-to guy and catches everything thrown to him.

Time will tell if Jerry Kill can make us one but he will need a few years. I don't think that this will turn around in one or two seasons, we have too far to go.

Correct. This will take a few years. Unfortunately, I think that Ball State, CMU, and WMU will be powerhouses for quite awhile.

There is absolutely no area where we don't need massive improvement, starting with QB. Because we need improvement in every phase of the game and virtually every position, this will not happen overnight. It will be a few years at best. And, just think of how great our recruiting can be now that we're having so much exposure on national TV!!

With the Bowl system rigged against us, we are still at a disadvantage, however this disadvantage has decreased over the last 4 years.
WE need some good recruits.

Excellent play special teams, but can our D step-up and force a 3 and out?

Can we tackle?

Finally a Larry English QB sack.

yea after the minn. game he seemed nowhere to be found...me personally i dont like the way the offense is called...maybe at the d1-AA level this works well but it doesnt seem to be here...we have a good amount of recievers this year that wont be here next year and i dont think we utilized them like we could have...we wont have tons to work with next year

False start CMU. -5 yards.

Finally tackling the QB. D-Fence is improving.

English is a beast!!!!!!!!!!

QB sacked by Larry English!
The D. Stepped up.
We should get the ball back with good field position.

54 yard Punt!
We will start at the 20 yard line.
Can we get a third TD?

We have the momentum.

this could def go down in the books as one of the best games in huskie history...if they win

This team is showing guts and class.
Can certainly help recruiting.
Some young High Schooler is going to want to play for NIU.

Our team is playing with energy.

Marcus Peres 39 yard catch. First down in CMU territory.

NIU back in the RED zone.
Congratulations.

simon with another great catch!
