Independence Bowl Preview
by: IndianCowboy
NFL GOY Goes today (Texans over Chiefs in week1 last year). 7-1 Run in the NFL including a 3-0 sweep in the NFL Last week. Here is your Independence Bowl Preview. Independence Bowl: Northern Illinois vs. Louisiana Tech. (Independence Stadium in Shreveport, Louisiana). Not a bad deal here for La Tech as they get to play here in their home state while Northern Illinois has to travel down south. The Huskies come off getting blanked by Navy at home by a score of 0-16, but prior to that had defeated Kent State 42-14 as that was a must win game to go Bowling as they couldn't rely on the Navy game for the make or break - and good thing they didn't as they lost. This team was 1-4 ATS over their last 5. La Tech lost a tight game in 31-35 against Nevada to close out the year, but did defeat Fresno State 38-35 at home which was probably one of their biggest wins on the season they can write home about as they were one of the fewest teams if not the only team that Fresno State lost to on the road outside of Boise State and they won that game outright despite being dogged by around 4-5 points. Although NI is just 84th in offense overall, they are the 19th rated defense in the league includin 5th in pass defense and 16th overall. La Tech is ranked as the 67th in total yards (102nd in passing, 24th in rushing) while their defense is ranked 80th overall (117th pass defense and 11th in rush defense).
