Jacobson: We’re into Week 3 of the season and with it brings the biggest rivalry game in DeKalb County: Sycamore vs. DeKalb. Steve, you’ve been to the annual event hosted at Huskie Stadium. How does the atmosphere compare to a normal high school football game?

Nitz: Well, obviously it’s a different atmosphere. I fully expect the whole east side of the stadium to be basically full. It’s fun watching a game in a college stadium that has a good crowd, and it’s great for the players, coaches and fans.

Of course, Sycamore has owned this rivalry lately. The Barbs haven’t beaten the Spartans since 2007. However, DeKalb has played pretty well at Huskie Stadium the past two years.
