A school-record and league-leading 14 Northern Illinois University Huskie football players have been named to the Mid-American Conference’s 2014 Academic All-MAC Football Team released Tuesday by the league office. NIU’s 14 Academic All-MAC players tied with Central Michigan as the most by any school in the league. Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan and Ohio each had...
Drew Hare
Drew Hare, who tossed two touchdowns and ran for a third last weekend in NIU’s 23-15 win over Northwestern, will start at quarterback Saturday in Las Vegas. Hare, the third and final Huskie quarterback to take the field in Evanston, quickly earned Coach Rod Carey’s confidence. “That took all of about two seconds. We’re going...

As the tiresome summer reality shows finally reveal their destined-for-obscurity winners, it’s Rod Carey who soon will truly provide “the moment we’ve all been waiting for.” Who will quarterback the NIU Huskies football team? Drew Hare? Anthony Maddie? Matt McIntosh? “Each one of them has a different release,” wide receiver Da’Ron Brown said, “but at...

Quarterback: the most discussed battle for starting position at football camp. NIU has been stable at quarterback over the last five years with Chandler Harnish and Jordan Lynch, who combined for three Vern Smith Leadership Awards, given to the Mid-American Conference’s most valuable player. Just as Lynch was passed the torch by Harnish, Huskie fans...
The Northern Illinois University Huskies held their most extensive scrimmage of the 2014 preseason Thursday afternoon at Huskie Stadium in the 16th preseason practice of the year.

The Northern Illinois University Huskies wrapped up 2014 spring football practices Saturday at Huskie Stadium with a modified version of the “Huskie Bowl” won by the Cardinal Team made up of the entire NIU defense. Points were awarded for one-one-one drills, a field goal competition and third-down conversions in seven-on-seven situations before the offense and...

The biggest lesson learned from Saturday’s inaugural Huskie Bowl, the intrasquad scrimmage that closed out Northern Illinois’ 2013 spring practices, is that the Huskies are immeasurably better as one cohesive unit working together than they are split in half. In a one-hour, 45-minute scrimmage largely dominated by the defenses, the NIU Black team coached by...

Admittedly, calling Saturday’s Northern Illinois football practice a “Spring Game” was a little bit of a misnomer in terms of both the “spring” and the “game”. With temperatures in the low 40s and winds measured near 20 miles per hour at times, spring has not quite arrived in Northern Illinois. And when NIU’s spring football...
