“At this point I’m out of the race for first, so I’m predicting another year of bowl eligibility for Ohio with a win against NIU paired with a victory next week at Miami. The Bobcats will come out strong for their seniors on Tuesday."

Northern Illinois 35, Ohio 20
“I just think Northern Illinois will win.”
Andy Kovar, Staff Writer (9-1)
