Episode 89 - Northern Illinois Huskies' football history

Today, we discuss the college football history of the Northern Illinois Huskies. This program has history of extreme performances, on both ends of the spectrum. One National Championship in the Small College Division, one coach who led the Huskies into national prominence, one coach who led the Huskies through four decades, one coach who led the Huskies to a National Championship, one game to secure an undefeated untied National Championship, one high scoring affair, one collapse to secure a stunning loss, one historic loss to end an historic losing streak, one controversial goal line stand, one perfect team, one No. 12 ranking, one finish in the final AP Poll, one perfect National Championship team, one quarterback who rewrote the school’s record books, two stellar running backs, one longtime rival, one offensive explosion to top the century mark, one defensive collapse to top the century mark, one record setting TD run that can never be broken, one record setting day of rushing futility, one record setting rushing performance for the ages, one record tying TD pass that can never be broken, and of course, Siberian Husky.
