The Northern Illinois Huskies (4-3, 4-0 MAC) erased a 12-point fourth quarter deficit and came back to defeat the Ohio Bobcats (3-3, 1-1 MAC) by a score of 24-21.
With the win, NIU stays ahead of WMU (who is 3-0 in the MAC) and gained a game on Toledo, who lost to Eastern Michigan today. Ohio fell to 1-1 in conference and now trails Buffalo, the lone unbeaten MAC East team, by a game.
The Bobcats probably had flashbacks to the Jordan Lynch era as Marcus Childers picked today of all days to break out his best rushing performance of the year.
