Have you seen the ESPN Fantasy Football commercial featuring NIU alum, Michael Turner?
NIU's Michael Turner rushed for 156 yds on 27 carries in the Huskies 19-16 victory over Alabama in 2003.
Turner was a nightmare for opposing defenses when he wore the Huskie red and black. A two-time All-America, Doak Walker National Runningback Award semifinalist, and First-Team All-Mid-American Conference pick, Turner wound up second in major-college rushing in both 2002 (1,905 yards) and in 2003 (1,648 yards), plus completed his career 13th on the all-time National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1-A ground-gaining list with 4,941 yards. “The Burner” finished his career with at least 13 major Northern Illinois records.
