For as optimistic as the NIU faithful have been given the recent offensive output of their beloved Huskies, there was never any real serious threat from the young pups in what was an absolute drubbing in Ann Arbor. Michigan (3-0) went 9-of-9 on their first nine possessions, and kept NIU (1-2) to a paltry 1-of-13 on third down conversions in a 63-10 route of the visiting Huskies side on Saturday afternoon.
NIU possessed the ball first, but was unable to produce any offense, going three-and-out immediately. Michigan would find the endzone just two minutes later, with QB Cade McNamara sneaking in for a one-yard score to end a seven-play, 75 yard drive.
