[NU Sports] Life after Duke

[Jonathan Hodges]

SIU has 2 consecutive wins over I-A/FBS competition: Indiana in 2006 and
Northern Illinois in 2007 (which, coincidentally, took their head coach -
Jerry Kill - starting this season).  They have also been to 5 straight
playoffs and have been ranked at the I-AA/FCS level for 69 straight weeks in
either the coaches or media poll.  BUT, they had to replace their head coach
and most of the offense from last year's playoff run that ended with a close
home loss to Delaware (who was led by now NFL QB Joe Flacco).  They won't be
a pushover, that's for sure.

Also note that previous NU I-AA/FCS opponent New Hampshire won its 4th
consecutive game against a I-A/FBS opponent, Army (albeit they are not very
good); their streak now includes Rutgers, NU, Marshall, and Army.
