Opponent Preview: Northern Illinois’ Offense

With one game under their belt, we finally have an idea of what to expect from the Huskies of Northern Illinois…and if their 33-7 loss to Iowa last week is any indication, the Utes are staring down a 2-0 start before taking PAC-12 Goliath Washington next week.

Leading the Husky offense is quarterback Marcus Childers, a sophomore who was thrown into action last season after the first and second-string options went down with injuries early in the season. His 5-3 record as a starter left many in DeKalb hopeful for 2018, but things are off to a rough start early on for the sophomore quarterback.
