NIU's 2003 Season: A Touch of Greatness

Tomorrow, Northern goes for its 11th victory of the season when they play Miami of Ohio in Detroit for the Mid-American Conference's Championship game. It promises to be a tough game as that school is always one of the best in the conference.

The last time Northern achieved this level of excellence was 2003 when we were actually ranked as high as #10 in the polls.

The results of the year:


20-17 W Maryland (ranked #14 at the time) 20-17 at home
42-17 W Tennessee Tech at home
16-13 W Alabama (ranked #21 at the time) away
24-16 W Iowa State at home
30-23 W Ohio (overtime)at home
40-24 W Central Michigan away
37-10 W Western Michigan at home
18-34 L Bowling Green away
48-23 W Ball State at home
40-9 W Buffalo away
30-49 L Toledo away (Good Old Toledo)
38-24 W Eastern Michigan at home

Despite the two late-season losses, expectations were high of a visit to a bowl, but that was not to be. However, Toledo did go.
