DALLAS (FWAA) – The NIU Huskies knocked off a team ranked in the top five of the polls for the first time in school history Saturday, toppling fifth-ranked Notre Dame in South Bend with a final-minute field goal, 16-14. The Huskies outgained the Irish, didn’t commit a turnover and made decisive plays on defense and special teams to earn the upset and become the Cheez-It National Team of the Week for games the weekend of Sept. 7, as selected by the All-America Committee of the Football Writers Association of America.
