Let’s just go ahead and get the obvious out of the way: This has not been the 2016 that anyone expected from the Northern Illinois Huskies. Taking nothing away from South Florida, Wyoming, or San Diego State, but 0-3 was about as farfetched as the pitiful performances put forth by the Huskies so far this season. A performance that extended today with a 42-28 defeat at the hands of the San Diego State Aztecs.
There was hope that today would right the NIU ship, as is often the case, teams rally around each other in the face of tremendous adversity.
