It does and it doesn’t. The defense could have had a superhuman effort and tried to win that game on their own. But I think instead they were just too defeated with all the qb mess they endured. It shouldn’t be that way but it happens. I remember one of the Bears saying they all but gave up when Jonathan Quinn got the start. He was just that bad and also couldn’t even control the huddle.
Heck of a lot more than QB issues that affected NiU that day. Mutiny against a head coach was not helpful either. I forgot who it was in NIU defensive backfield,, but a Huskie defender literally pulled up at the 5 yard line and let Boise score. That image will always stick with me
Its best to just forget that entire game.

The only bowl game I can remember is the Silicon Valley Classic, which I attended. Almost got pneumonia.

This reminds me of the former poster Bartindekalb who was arrested after going on the field vs BGSU 2002 I believe
