On a cold and snowy night in DeKalb, the Northern Illinois Huskies got off to a great start over the Miami RedHawks, scoring ten points in the first ten minutes of the game.
But the RedHawks (5-6, 3-4 MAC) would not be denied, as they scored 16 unanswered points and ended up on the right side of a 29-23 score, beating the Huskies who fell to 3-8 (2-5 MAC).
Miami’s first two drives, with a heavy snow falling, were quick 3-and-outs; while the Huskies were able to make it work on the ground. NIU struck first after a 52-yard run by Jaiden Credle set up a shot field goal from John Richardson.
