MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – To Northern Illinois safety Demetrius Stone, the Huskies’ secondary has been playing as good as it can be lately.

“We’re playing real well. We’ve got depth,” Stone said after Thursday’s practice at Barry University. “Guys are out there making plays. We’ve been playing well all
season.”

However, the rest of the Mid-American Conference doesn’t compare to a team like Florida State, with athletes like quarterback E.J. Manuel and a receiving core with five players that have over 20 catches on the season. Rashad Greene leads the unit with 52 catches for 696 yards and five touchdowns.
