Hey Utes, Utah Huskie here (NIU). I have kids at UofU, so this game is tough for me. When your money goes to Utah, but you played at NIU, hard to understand who to pull for sometimes. Utah is much better overall, much. NIU D is solid, what we saw last week was no O, all D. The D could not stay out there all day and win it, our O never really helped out, young QB. NIU has a record for beating the big boys, but with this QB it will be a tall order, especially against Utes. NIU is not afraid of the bigger games, historically we do well, hell, even beat Bama like you all did.
I think NIU keeps it close for a while, meaning I believe we slow Utah down with our D, but not enough Gatorade to keep them going. BTW, Ute fan, except when they play NIU! Hoping both teams have 0 injuries, fun to watch Utah go for it this year.

NIU is where Utah used to be, fighting for a seat at the table.
