Another quarterback change didn’t equal a different result for the NIU football on Saturday in a 48-21 loss at Ohio.

After two weeks on the bench behind true freshman Brady Davidson, redshirt sophomore and Marengo grad Josh Holst returned to the starting lineup.

“Obviously it wasn’t fun but I wasn’t playing well,” Holst said. “Brady is a great player, great kid. Those two weeks on scout team put it in perspective. I felt like a freshman again. Going against the defense built the confidence back up. Yeah, I was a little [ticked] off but whatever the coaches need me to do, I’ll do it.”

The Huskies (1-6, 0-3 MAC) did score three touchdowns and break the 20-point mark for the first time this year, two of the three touchdowns came in the second half with Ohio (4-3, 2-1) leading 34-8.
