NIU football team honored at halftime pep rally

The junior cornerback, who hails from Fort Walton Beach, Fla., kept getting a flurry of phone calls, texts and emails. Eventually, he just had to click the “off” button.

Three days after it was announced the Huskies were making their first BCS appearance, the attention hasn’t stopped.
