The Northern Illinois Huskies (NIU) visit the Toledo Rockets on Wednesday for an MAC college football matchup. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. ET. Links for the live radio broadcast and live stream, as well as a preview, are provided below.
The undefeated Huskies (10-0, 6-0 MAC) look to make it 11 straight wins for the season with a victory on the road. Beyond keeping a perfect record, NIU can clinch a spot in the MAC title game with a win over Toledo.
Senior quarterback Jordan Lynch is a big reason for the Huskies' success this year. He's completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 2,216 yards, 21 touchdowns and five interceptions; he's added another 1,273 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground.
Big-time performances, such as the game against Central Michigan where he rushed for 316 yards, and his 35 total touchdowns have the Huskies ranked sixth-best in the country with an average of 44.6 points per game.
"If Jordan isn't in the conversation for the Heisman I don't know what people are watching, they were asleep," Huskies coach Rod Carey said, via ESPN. "In my estimation that trophy goes to the best player in the nation and with the performance he had (against Ball State), he dang sure should be in that conversation."
Lynch trails A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel for total touchdowns by four leads FSU quarterback Jameis Winston in total touchdowns by three.
"Jordan Lynch, he's a tremendous player," said Toledo quarterback Terrance Owen. "I feel that, like the offensive side of the ball, we have to match their offense. But it all boils down to all four quarters, we gotta win the fourth quarter."
Toledo (7-3, 5-1) is the second-to-last obstacle standing in NIU's way of a perfect regular season. Running back David Fluellen has been the best source of offense for the Rockets, rushing for 1,067 yards and 10 scores. The halfback, however, has missed the past two games with a leg injury and is uncertain for Wednesday.
Freshman Kareem Hunt has carried the load in Fluellen's absence; Hunt has 672 yards and six touchdowns for the season.
