On the offensive:
Chandler Harnish (27 of 33 for 315 yards) continued his efficient production. The NIU senior QB passed for two TDs and ran for three. He passed for five and ran for one in the opener vs. Army.
Getting defensive:
Ron Newcomb recovered a Jordan Webb fumble to thwart a KU drive in the first half. Jimmie Ward, Sean Progar and Demetriu Stone each had 10 tackles.
The number:
8: Harnish completed passes to eight receivers.
They’re still talking about:
In the first half, first-year NIU coach Dave Doeren decided to go for it on fourth down, and the Huskies converted.
Audible:
Including Saturday’s victory, Kansas has won 24 of its last 26 nonconference home games.
Looking ahead:
Doeren, who previously served as an assistant at Kansas, will face his most recent former employer when the Huskies host Wisconsin on Saturday at Soldier Field.
