This is a 5* play on the Northern Illinois Huskies.

The Falcons upset the Huskies in last year's MAC Championship Game, but the Falcons come into the rematch off back to back losses. Northern Illinois on the other hand has been on top form, winning six in a row.

Falcons QB James Knapke has thrown for just 211 yards on 25-of-51 passing with no TDs in losses to Toledo and Ball State. He's only thrown two TD passes over his last five starts, and such a one-dimensional offense might play into the hands of the opponent tonight.

The Huskies own one of the nation's top running offenses, averaging over 246 rushing yards per game. Cameron Stingily has been the workhorse in the back field, running for 779 yards and 11 TDs.

The Huskies are also a one-dimensional team that leans heavily on the run, but NIU QB Drew Hare has been very accurate when he does throw. He has 11 TDs and just one INT so far this season, throwing for 527 yards and five TDs in his last three starts.

Take NIU.
