NIU: As good as some thought?

Being a top 10 team we should win regardless, but NIU doesn’t look like the concern some thought they may be preseason. Just lost to Tulsa after squeaking by Eastern Illinois last week. 3 Sunbelt teams beat ranked opponents this past week, but I don’t see it happening to us in week 4 unless there’s some insane fluke.
 
The stats from the 1st two games tell me their defense is a bit suspect.

Each team has had about 300 yards passing and over 100 yards rushing. Maybe they are better than the numbers suggest, but either their pass rush or their secondary must be weak...maybe both.

When will we know the game time? I have a Louder Than Than Life ticket so I hope it’s a noon game for selfish reasons.

The next 2 games we roll while honing our skills at home.
All the while hopfully rising in the polls a notch or two before heading to Oxford.
Man this is some kinda fun!
 
NIU has a good O, good running game, but not much on D. Still, if teams aren't focused they'll struggle.
 
Levis stood there, took the shot but made the throw. Any nfl team that passes on him is going to be making a big mistake
