Huskies to host Nevada on Saturday

Still trying for its first win, NIU football (0-9, 0-5 Mountain West) will host the University of Nevada (3-6, 2-3 MW) on Saturday. Nevada, coached by Jeff Choate, runs its offense through multiple quarterbacks, with sophomore Carter Jones and fifth-year AJ Bianco getting the majority of snaps. Senior Luke Duncan has also gotten significant touches in this non-traditional rotation, and it’s something the Huskies are paying attention to. “Obviously they’ve played a multitude of quarterbacks,” NIU interim head coach Rob Harley said. “He’s (Choate) talked about continuity, and obviously we know what that’s like with injuries and trying to create some momentum and some consistency on offense.” The Wolfpack have thrown for a total of 1,458 yards with eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions this season. However, the quarterbacks have only taken 16 sacks, which is 13 less than the Huskies.
