Related Topics: Iowa Hawkeyes, Husky, Sutton Smith

The Northern Illinois Huskies didn’t start 2018 off on the right foot as they fell 33-7 to the Iowa Hawkeyes yesterday afternoon. But what did we learn from the first 60 minutes of Huskie football?

1. The Huskie defense *might* not be as good as we thought they’d be this season.

While the defense held Iowa to just three points and 137 total yards in the first half, in the second half NIU couldn’t manage to get a stop, allowing 215 yards and giving up 30 points in the final 30 minutes of play!
