1 – Bringing back Graham
After redshirt freshman quarterback Ryan Graham went down with a left leg injury in the second half of the season finale loss to Ohio, things looked grim for the Huskies, who had to start true freshman walk-on Tommy Fiedler in the MAC Championship. Graham had been solid after taking over for Drew Hare at Toledo and gave NIU fans hope. In the week leading up to the Poinsettia Bowl, Graham was back with the first string when the Huskies did team drills, so anticipate him making the start against Boise State.
