NIU knocks down Wolves in GoDaddy.com Bowl, 38-20

The Arkansas State Red Wolves took an early 13-point lead, only to watch the Northern Illinois Huskies score 31 unanswered points en route to a 38-20 victory at the GoDaddy.com Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.

The loss ended Arkansas State’s (10-3) nine-game winning streak. The Sun Belt Champions couldn’t overcome five turnovers—including three interceptions thrown by Ryan Aplin.

Northern Illinois’ Martel Moore caught eight passes for 224 yards and a touchdown. The 6-foot-2, 182-pound junior from San Antonio, Texas, had 523 yards receiving all season until his bowl performance.

Quarterback Chandler Harnish completed 18 of 36 passes for 274 yards and two touchdowns in his final college game. He came in as the nation’s top rushing quarterback, averaging 106.3 yards per game, but was limited to minus-3 yards on the ground because of an ankle injury he sustained in the second quarter.
