Huskies impress with rotations in offensive line, Bowers Childers 'two-headed moster'

TOLEDO, Ohio — This season has certainly been a test of character for the Huskies.

Between close losses and key injuries, it seems like NIU has been scratching and clawing for everything it has gotten all season long.

Here's @J_Richardson7 25-yard field goal with 41 seconds to go that gave @NIUAthletics @NIU_Football the 31-28 lead over Toledo. That was his second late game field goal he's made to go along with his field goal as time expired last month at Ohio. #MACtion pic.twitter.com/Xhl4hOKp8b

In a must-win game Tuesday night against the University of Toledo at the Glass Bowl, that character was pushed to the brink, but this time, the Huskies passed the test with flying colors.
