Huskies dismantled at home by Nevada

Not yet finding the light at the end of the tunnel, NIU football brutally lost 28-7 at home to the University of Nevada Wolfpack, committing three poorly timed turnovers. “Obviously not the result we wanted, I know it’s been a broken record there in terms of wanting to play clean football,” interim head coach Rob Harley said. “We’re trying to get out of our own way and not have these catastrophic plays.” The first half was rough for the Huskies (0-10, 0-6 Mountain West), and they found themselves down 21 points to the Wolfpack (4-6, 3-3 MW) by the halftime whistle. The defense somewhat recovered though, only allowing 7 points in the second half. “We knew it was just execution, we were doing the right things,” said freshman linebacker Jack Murray, who had 11 total tackles.
