Nebhawk Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 No matter what happens the rest of the season, the future doesn't look bright. NIU is not Southern Miss or SMU or BYU. NIU is a solid Mac program with some decent talent and obviously solid coaches. The talent on the field showed me that we are not up to standards of a Big 10 school. Both sides of the ball. Did this team overlook NIU, sure did. Did we have the horse to remove a 14 deficit, not really. NIU muffed a Punt that allowed us to make a comeback, big mo was on our side and then they walked right thru our defense to score on a 6 play drive. Years past we would have won the game, won the game by a few points but overwhelmed the other team when it was time. What is the insight for what lies ahead for this program? We are skating a thin line, looking more and more like Iowa ST or Mizzou than what a once powerhouse program looked. Quote Link to comment
