It wasn’t that long ago that the Northern Illinois Huskies were atop the MAC when it came to offensive firepower. Players like Garrett Wolfe, Chandler Harnish, Jordan Lynch, Nathan Palmer, and Kenny Golladay ran over their MAC foes.
But, over the past few season, the Huskies offense has stalled out; going from nearly 520 yards and 40 points per game in 2013 to just 24.8 points and 367.5 yards per game last season....and those numbers, sadly, are an improvement. The low came in 2018, Rod Carey’s final season, when NIU averaged just 20.1 points per game and 322.
