In another exciting segment of Tuesday Night Football "MAC"tion, the Northern Illinois Huskies once again put on a thrilling football game, beating Ball State with a 34-yard field goal from Mathew Sims with just :08 left on the clock to go up 41-38 and seal the victory. It wasn't easy for the Huskies however, as the Cardinals jumped out to a 14-0 lead early in the first quarter after Joshua Howard returned a fumble 92 yards for a touchdown.

The Huskies battled back however, getting a touchdown pass from quarterback Chandler Harnish and a touchdown run from Jasmin Hopkins to tie the game mid-way through the second quarter. Ball State answered however, scoring 10 unanswered points before the half to hold a halftime 24-14 lead. Ball State opened the second half scoring another touchdown, taking a 31-14 game.

While the score looked nearly impossible to come back from, never rule out MAC football on a Tuesday. The Huskies stormed back scoring 21 unanswered points to take a 35-31 lead over the Cardinals. Quarterback Chandler Harnish put the Huskies on his back, accounting for 512 of total offense, including 181 yards on the ground with a rushing touchdown. On the day, the Huskies out gained the Cardinals by 313 yards, much of that in the second half.

Northern Illinois improves to 8-3 and 6-1 in MAC play.

Ball State Vs. Northern Illinois: Huskies Win Sixth Straight, 41-38

The Northern Illinois Huskies will look to take one more step towards the MAC Championship Game when they host the upstart Ball State Cardinals Tuesday night.


Don't count BSU out of the conference race, however. The Cardinals stayed in the conference race with a 33-31 victory over Easter Michigan two weekends ago while the Huskies manhandled Bowling Green 45-14 in week eleven.


Ball State has come out of nowhere this season to be bowl-eligible at 6-3 so far on the season. This performance has been nothing short of remarkable by first-year head coach Pete Lembo. Five of their six wins have been by seven points or less.


The Huskies rebounded from a 2-3 start and have won five in a row, most by blowout. NIU has only lost twice in the past decade at home to Ball State.


Game date, time: 8:00 pm ET, Tuesday, Nov 15


Location: Brigham Field at Huskie Stadium, DeKalb, IL


TV channel: ESPNU


Spread: No. Illinois favored by 19.
