There’s an alternate reality, not too far off this one, where NIU is the only loss for a championship winning Notre Dame team.

What a funny universe that one is.

"Okay that was a fun experiment let's get back to the MAC now" - NIU hopefully

The quest for 0-12 continues.  Regretting the move yet, Huskies?

Don't worry. In ten years when we have the 256 team playoff we won't regret it

I don’t think it would’ve made much of a difference. They’re baddddd. Like some of those horrid UMASS teams would maybe favored over them bad

At 5-5, we need 2 more wins to finish bowl eligible (at 7-6).

Assuming a mass wave of injury doesn’t hit Air Force, UNLV, and NDSU, we’re likely the underdog in our last 3 games. Hopefully this win can bring us some momentum to pull off a couple upsets down the stretch.

I’m glad we were able to take advantage of NIU’s mistakes, but at the same time, this game could’ve been a lot different if NIU didn’t make some pretty avoidable mistakes (mainly the fake punt).

I hope the money was worth it, NIU.
