Nabal Jefferson

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...

Drew Hare
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...
