Their a little banged up and flu bug going through the team too.

I'm sure they have backups ready to play that are better than our starters.

Don't be so sure. I'm sure many teams like Ohio State, Iowa, Bama, and others would not agree. Huskies with a chip on the shoulder and something to prove can be dangerous.

NIU being competitive in this game is such an easy formula. If NIU is conservative on offense, they get steamrolled. If they value each possession, they will be competitive.

They'll try to run up the middle and the sweep too many times to survive this game and then all the new Rod Carey fans will come back to the dark side

Yep, runs up the middle and jet sweeps. I expect to see a lot of that tomorrow.

Our backups go to play(start) at Big ten schools.

I hate this. Big ten fans will cry that game was unfair if we win and brag about how good they are if they win.

Unfair because of injury? NIU has injuries too

Huskies get railroaded if they are conservative on offense. Absolutely no question

Mikale Wilbon from De LaSalle in Chicago will start at running back. He was a highly rated running back in high school and coming into this year he had less than 125 total yards rushing in two seasons.

Our players would have to overcome the coaching, kicking game, and the officials... That's a lot to overcome.
