ESPN has them as the second worst FBS team this week. I guess I didn’t realize they were that bad. Coupled with how we looked against Iowa State does anyone think there is a reason to be worried? Michigan game will be a good measuring stick.
How Good is Northern Illinois?
- Thread starter Kirk is God
- Start date
I think they lost to Illinois State, an FCS team, by 4 points. not a good signfor us.
The offense is definitely still a work in progress, but then again when isn't it?
coupled? Iowa could have hung 80 points on NIU if they wanted. That's not Kirk's style, I do think ISU will be better than expected given their special teams play and decent defense. The fact that the passing game stepped up to the plate when the running game wasn't effective says this team has some upside.
Why is that not good for us? We could have scored 100 on them. What is wrong with you.
I cannot answer your second question, sorry. the list is way too long for me to type into this forum.
NIU was wretched.
Permanently a member of McGee's Bottom 10.
Can't tell much of anything about us from that game.

We needed 2 blocked FGs to beat UNI in 2009. They could be Luther ******* college, what's it matter? Iowa looked much improved for a week 1 season opener.
Why do people get so hung up on this? Who cares? Has zero bearing on the season.

Illinois St did make the FCS Natty game last year. Still though, you’d have to assume NIU is a bottom 5 team in FBS.
