10 Section 3 Chicago Tribune, Sunday, September 8. 1996 COLLEGE FOOTBALL TOYOTA WIU17.NIU0 Murphy's law haunts Northern loss WHITE PINES GOLF COURSE SKILLS CHALLENGE NATIONAL TOUR By Lori Nickel Tribune Staff Writer DeKALB Most people weren't expecting Nothern Illinois to be good this season. They knew games against Maryland last week and Penn State next week would be tough. They knew with a first-year coach and one last season as an independent, this would be a year of transition, not triumph. But on paper, Northern is still supposed to be better than a Division I-AA school NIU coach Joe Novak said.

"We still haven't been with these kids very long. We're still trying to feel our way on what we're trying to do." Western Illinois made the Huskies pay dearly for a couple of key mistakes: On a Western Illinois drive in the second quarter from the Huskies' 37-yard line, WIU quarterback Jeff Hecklinski threw a 14-yard pass to Jon Moffit. North-, era was penalized for roughing the passer, and the 12-yard penalty set up the Leathernecks at the Huskies' 11-yard line. Three plays later, Nebraska transfer Brian Knuckles scored the 4-yard touchdown to give Western a 7-0 lead. war ip-j-m THE SKILLS It's not The Huskies lost to Western Illinois 17-0 Saturday night.

It was the first time Western Illinois had beaten a I-A school in 10 years.

At the end of the first half, Northern had a little run going after Huskies quarterback Brandon Barker hit Deon Mitchell for an 18-yard gain.

Two plays later, Barker, who rarely had time to set up a play, threw into heavy Leathernecks coverage and was picked off by safety Calvin Green. Green returned the ball 46 yards to set up a 40-yard field goal by Keith Jones. Western held a 10-0 halftime lead. The scary thing for the 21,370 fans on hand many of them in the brand-new east stands was that Western could have led by even more if it had not fumbled three times in the first quarter. But it didn't matter.

Western settled down in the second half, Knuckles ran in a 17-yard touchdown for a 17-0 lead late in the third quarter, and Northern folded. Knuckles ran for 211 yards on 36 carries, a career high and a school record. Northern, however, looked out of sync all night and the blame can't be placed on one man's shoulders. The 16-yard punt, the mental mistakes for penalties, like running into the kicker and even problems with the play clock early in the night produced something that was not the season opener of highlights. "There were a couple of times I was trying to get things going," Barker said.

"Things were kind of bleak there on offense. But I made plays I probably shouldn't have." Huskies tailback Charles Talley was ineffective again, with just 72 yards on 17 carries. mm Real Lesson i 3 1 13 TfS simpler (han lis been taughtr Limited to first 100 callers 3 month -jfm Colbert 1 1 rii lb i hmii Wherever you 04 youVtmeyourPro Predict with a ColbwtBaltod Pro In any ol war 37 major cltta across lit US.
