Rapid Recap: NIU football loses by 21 to Nevada

NIU football (0-10, 0-5 Mountain West) hosted the University of Nevada Wolfpack (4-6, 3-3 MW) on Saturday at Huskie Stadium. FIRST QUARTER Nevada won the coin toss and chose to send the ball to the Huskies for the first kickoff. The Huskies quickly got a first down after a screen pass from redshirt junior quarterback Taron “Tyger” Dickens to redshirt senior wideout DeAree Rogers. On the very next play, Dicken’s grip on the ball seemed to slip as he threw, and the ball was intercepted by Nevada sixth-year defensive back Joshua Scott. The Wolfpack got moving quickly, and a 12-yard reception by freshman wide receiver Perrion Williams set up Nevada’s offense at the NIU 26 yard line. On second and 6, Wolfpack junior running back Herschel Turner Jr. hit the outside edge and dove past the pylon to put Nevada on the board first.
