DeKALB, Ill. – The biggest lesson learned from Saturday’s inaugural Huskie Bowl 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 offensive line coach Joe Tripodi claimed a 31-7 victory over the NIU Cardinal team led by linebackers coach Kevin Kane. At a dinner later this semester, Tripodi and his team will dine on steak while the Cardinal team and Kane are left with hot dogs and beans.

Lynch gets limited reps, but backups produce
DeKALB, Ill. – 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 practices were pushed back a week due to weather, Saturday’s “game” turned into a controlled scrimmage.
