Derek Mason has a lot of respect for Northern Illinois

Derek Mason took to the podium for his weekly press conference ahead of Saturday’s 11 AM game against the Northern Illinois Huskies. We paraphrase Mason’s comments below:

  • You have to respect Northern Illinois, who they are, and what they do. Mason is familiar with Thomas Hammock (Northern Illinois’s coach) from when Mason was on the coaching staff at Ohio. They’re fighting to stay above water, and we’re fighting to stay above water.
  • The first quarter of the season is done and now we’re on to the second quarter of the season. There’s been progress on all fronts.
