Harbison crosses 1,000-yard mark on the season, 84-yards behind Hammock in all-time rushing list

DeKALB — It’s been a mix of good days and bad days for the football team this season.

An inconsistent 2019 saw another check mark go into the ‘bad days’ column Tuesday when the Huskies fell to Eastern Michigan University by a score of 45-17.

The loss delivered two knockout punches to NIU, eliminating it from the Mid-American Conference West division title and bowl contention.

One of the most glaring issues the Huskies have had this season is injuries. A majority of the positions on the field have seen time lost to player injuries, leaving the Huskies to dig deeper into the depth-chart.
