I'm asking depending on who's starting at qb and how much difference will that make.
But imo, we cover and by 10 no matter who is at qb

How much do we win by against NIU?

Depends. No turnovers and we win by 50.
3+ turnovers it'll be a 3 point win by either team. I hope Sims starts and he shows us just how good he can really be.

Yep, he's certainly had a bad spell. With him running we put up close to 300 on them.
Not sure the level of NIU's competition but they're top 30 in total defense so far:

I think this may end up being a lot like Wisconsin’s game against Buffalo.
Is this thread a joke? I wouldn’t assume anything in the W column at this point.
Here is a summary of NIU's first and only game this season against a D1 opponent, Boston College.

SO I take it the OP is Guaranteeing a Win. After this many years, I thought everyone would know better

Just win.
At this point style points and point spreads have to come second.

NU can't get too sloppy with penalties as well. BC racked up 10 for 93 yards in their loss to NIU.
Agree.
If we're a push on turnovers, don't allow any big ST's plays against us and at least even on penalties I think we win.
Any other combination than the above and I'll have to see.
I'll take Northern Illinois by 10. I watched their first two games. I believe their offense alone is good for at least 10 points against our defense. I will give them another 7-13 points from mistakes made by our offense (short fields from turnovers.) I don't think our offense has 17 points in them.
