NIU facts

Northern Illinois has won at least 11 games in each of the last five seasons, appeared in the 2013 Orange Bowl and has gone 4-3 against Big Ten opponents. This is not a game to look past. Go Bucks!

They have a solid program and this current team is full of seniors and juniors (aka experienced), but I have a feeling we absolutely dominate them after a full week of prep and a clunky game last week.

Me too but we do not need an Appy. They were NCs for several years before beating scUM.

I expected them to get points on the board.

This is not the cake walk school the media wants you to believe.

I had a good laugh this week when someone referenced the win over Arkansas was the super bowl for Toledo. The MAC plays some damn good football and has some great coaches.

I agree with Ken, as FANS we have no need to worry, we don't affect the outcome of the game.

The TEAM needs to be prepared, however, and can't take the opponent lightly.

So far, Urban has shown a knack for getting the team ready for a game. Especially when he has some ammunition to use to get them fired up. I'd say the last game probably helps him to do that.

After last week, our team better not lay an egg.

With that said, I don't think we will shut them out nor should we be overconfident.

Urban liked 2 practices this week. That almost never happens. He knows they aren't where they need to be, but also knows they don't have to be yet.

I don't think it will be a shutout but do think the offense is gaining confidence.

Full week of rest and preparation versus 4 days, I think the boys will be alright.
