DeKALB – Northern Illinois football coach Rod Carey announced on Tuesday that senior Anthony Maddie will take over as the starting quarterback.
Maddie sparked the Huskies' offense in a comeback that fell short in the 28-23 loss to Western Illinois on Saturday.
"The competition certainly isn't done by any stretch of the imagination," Carey said. "The quarterback spot needs to be productive for us and Anthony came in and was productive – wasn't productive enough, but more productive. ... You have to move the offense and it certainly moved more with him in there than Ryan (Graham), so that's why we're making the switch.
