N. Illinois wins MAC crown
DETROIT — Drew Hare threw for two touchdowns and ran for one, and Northern Illinois wrested the Mid-American Conference title from Bowling Green in emphatic fashion Friday night, beating the Falcons 51-17. The Huskies (11-2) are MAC champions for the third time in four years, and they avenged a loss to Bowling Green in last season’s title game, when the Falcons spoiled Northern Illinois’ bid for an undefeated season.
