DeKALB — The football team may not have a conference championship or bowl game after Tuesday night, but it can end its year with a win over the Western Michigan University Broncos.
The Huskies were eliminated from postseason contention Tueaday in a 45-17 loss to the Eastern Michigan University Eagles. Head Coach Thomas Hammock said the Huskies struggled in several areas that gave EMU easier opportunities to score, chief among them being NIU’s four turnovers.
“We put our defense in a tough spot by turning the ball over,” Hammock said. “We gave [the Eagles] offense some short fields, and they had some of their wide receivers make great plays.
