DeKALB — The start of conference play is always a great opportunity for struggling teams to clear the slate and begin again.
Returning to Huskie Stadium for the first time since Aug. 31 and opening Mid-American Conference play against Ball State gave the Huskies a chance to hit the refresh button on the season after three-straight road losses that were each frustrating in their own ways.
For three of the four quarters, the Huskies looked ready to vent a lot of that frustration and get off to a great start in the MAC before two-tough road games at Ohio University and Miami University of Ohio.
