DeKALB — Grayson Barnes turned a short reception into a 58-yard touchdown early in the third quarter and Kanon Woodill kicked three field goals in the second half to lift Northern Illinois to a 23-13 win against Ohio on Saturday. The Huskies defense held the Bobcats — who were averaging 24.5 points per game — scoreless in the second half. NIU picked off Kurtis Rourke three times, ending the Bobcats’ last three drives.
Northern Illinois opened the scoring midway through the first quarter when Gavin Williams raced 53 yards through the left side for a touchdown. Rourke sandwiched a 1-yard scoring plunge between a pair of Woodill field goals, the last with 7 seconds to go, to give the Bobcats a 13-7 lead at the half. Rocky Lombardi was 15-of-23 passing for 172 yards for the Huskies, who had 302 total yards. Rourke was 22 of 36 but threw for only 159 yards — his longest completion was 14 yards.
