RE: Weekly Release?
Kaleb tweeted the depth chart out a couple days ago. Only change I noticed was Veloz is the new RG.

RE: Weekly Release?
The Huskies have not played in Athens since 2014, a 21-14 win, and are 4-7 versus the Bobcats there all-time. (REmember 2014 was our bad year 5-7 and 5-3 MAC).
NIU is playing five of its six games between Sept. 7 and Oct. 19 on the road with the lone home game last week's contest versus Ball State. The Huskies travel to Miami next week.
Each of the last five meetings between the teams, and six of the last seven games dating back to 2003, have been decided by seven points or less.
NIU outside linebacker Antonio Jones-Davis is coming off a career-best 17-tackle game versus Ball State. The senior, who leads the Huskies in tackles, recorded his first career interception, collected his first sack of the year and tallied 1.5 tackles for loss in the game.
With 1,817 yards of total offense through five games, NIU has 517 more yards than its total through five games a year ago.
Transfer quarterback Ross Bowers (Cal), who won the job over incumbent Marcus Childers during preseason camp, has passed for 1,297 yards on 103-of-181 passing through five games. (I would love to see Childers again!)
Thomas Hammock was named head coach at his alma mater in January 2019 after five years coaching running backs for the Baltimore Ravens. Hammock, the only two-time first-team Academic All-American in NIU football history, recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons as a player. He coached at Wisconsin and Minnesota prior to going to the NFL.
Twenty-two newcomers, including 11 true freshmen and three transfers, have seen action in at least one of NIU's first five games.
NIU set a school record with three blocked placekicks versus Nebraska, including two field goals and a PAT. Cornerback Jalen McKie recorded two blocks (FG, PAT) and is ranked tied for first in the FBS in blocked kicks.
NIU has won four of the last eight MAC Championships with 10 bowl appearances in the last 11 years, a record matched only by Boise State among non-autonomous teams.
NIU has played in seven of the last nine MAC title games, with a 30-29 win over Buffalo last year.
Gives me hope for tomorrow!
