Don't know much about Northern Illinois football? You're not alone. Here's some talking points about the Huskies.
1. Ohio State must avenge our brothers!
NIU plays in the MAC, which boasts a lot of Ohio Schools. Last year, NIU wailed on our Ohio brethren, beating Toledo, Ohio U, Kent State Miami of Ohio, and Bowling Green last year. That’s right, NIU ran the table against Ohio teams last year. So it’s up to Ohio to avenge this travesty against Ohio football!
2. It’s Jerry Kill’s old stomping grounds.
I’ve spent too long trying to analogize the Big Ten with the various kingdoms Game of Thrones in an effort to call Jerry Kill the Warden of the North.
