First meeting with NIU?

[TheGreatHogsby]

Is this our first meeting with NIU? If we have played them before it must have been in the 70s or 80s.

Nah, we played before.  Not sure when exactly.

Nope, played in '94, Ark defeated NIU 30-27

I was only 8 back in 1994. My memory let me down I guess.

NIU has a good program.  They are ranked #3 in third down conversion rate.  That's a bit troubling.  I can't see them as a pushover.

According to Bo Mattingly, Barry Lunney was our QB and Pittman was their line coach. Small world, huh?

Snowed that morning, Ford helped sweep the snow off the field,  cleared off by kickoff time and brutally cold.  Not Liberty Bowl cold but very cold for mid-November.
