What’s Going To Happen
Didn’t you used to be Northern Illinois?
The Huskies have been a surprising disaster under new head coach Thomas Hammock. They’re on a four game losing streak – dropping a home date to Ball State last week – with the worst third down conversion percentage in college football, no running game, and not enough offensive pop from the passing game to make up for the problems.
Didn’t you used to be Ohio?
The Bobcats struggled to get by Buffalo last week, but they have the right mix of positives to get by the reeling Huskies.
They’re great at keeping the chains moving, they lead the MAC in third downs, and they’re getting great play out of the O line.
So what’s the problem? Turnovers … lots of them.
This is supposed to be a MAC Championship preview, but instead it’s going to be a rocky game for both sides. Ohio will move the ball better than NIU will in a battle between two sputtering offenses.
