The Northern Illinois Huskies hosted the Kent State Golden Flashes for homecoming this week on a rainy, windy DeKalb afternoon.
And, in the first half, Kent State took advantage of the inclement weather by using their run game to their advantage, while holding the Huskies for most of the opening 30 minutes.
Daniel Santacaterina and NIU started with the ball but weren’t able to gain much on their first few possessions. The Huskies managed just two yards on their first six plays. Luckily for them, the Huskie defense held as well and allowed just 18 yards on Kent State’s first two drives.
