DeKalb, Illinois-Fourth quarter wins are becoming the norm for the NIU Huskies. Their fourth quarter rally last Saturday over Ball State was their third comeback win already this season.
Last season they had five of them including the MAC Championship game. So what is it that makes the Huskies a fourth quarter team?
"I think we're an extremly tough-nosed, mentally tough, physical fourth quarter team," says head coach Dave Doeren. "Obviously our goal as a staff is to not have to be behind in a game, but to know that we can come back when we do get in that situation and never panic and never flinch it says a lot about the winning attitude and the resiliency and the belief that our football team and coaching staff has."
The Huskies will host Buffalo Saturday afternoon. It'll be homecoming.
