Uni has beaten northwestern this year and some other bcs schools in the past.

Thoughts?

If they still had Jordan Lynch yes but they don't so I'm going to say no.

Probably, considering Kingsbury could barely beat Central Arkansas at home...

I haven't really seen them play but I would say it's a strong possibility

Yes. They're much more balanced regarding their running and passing.

NIU is more balanced offensively with a much better QB. They should move the ball and score some points. They need 12+ play drives to keep Hogs offense off the field.

NIU D line is not big enough and Hogs will control both lines of scrimmages and move the ball well. For second week in a row (and last week) Hogs will enjoy having a physical advantage on line of scrimmage and pull away late.

All of this bullshite comes to an end the following week.

Nope. Texas Tech still gets better athletes than NIU.

I would say NIU is better. Texas Tech is very mediocre

Better matchup for Arkansas, but lesser personnel. Arkansas wins by 3-13.

Why the hell Arkansas would schedule that team is beyond me. Those guys are good plus if you beat them, then you were "suppose" to. At this point in the rebuilding process, y'all would be wise to stay the F**K away from teams like this.

I could see NIU giving Arkansas a scare. They are rushing for something like 330 YPG, have already beaten a power 5 school on the road this year and have maybe the best mid-major receiver in the country.
