Watch out for Larry English, he had 4.5 sacks against Temple last year.
Temple is the only MAC team with a grass field.
It's Temple's homecoming game (CMU's was last week & ours is next week)

WE AREN'T ON TV!: Although Saturday's game can be seen as part of the Mid-American Conference All-MACcess package on-line, the NIU-Temple game will mark the first time in 21 games - since Nov. 5, 2005 when Northern Illinois faced Central Michigan in Mt. Pleasant - that a Huskie football game will NOT be available via an over-the-air telecast. The final three games of the 2005 campaign were televised along with every game last season (13) and each of the first five games this year. During that span, NIU appeared on ESPN or ESPN2 six times, on ABC once, was part of an ESPN Plus or ESPN GamePlan package four times, played on ESPNU on three occasions, and had seven games televised by Comcast SportsNet.
HOW BAD WE SUCK: The 35 points surrendered by Northern Illinois in the first half at Central Michigan were the most since Kansas State scored 59 points in the opening half on Sept. 12, 1998 in Manhattan. In addition, NIU's six turnovers (four INTs, two fumbles) were the most by a Huskie team in 101 games, since a 16-3 loss to Toledo on Oct. 31, 1998 when Northern Illinois committed seven turnovers.
BOTH TEAMS HAVE BUTTER FINGERS: The Owls have fumbled 15 times this season, losing eight of those. The Huskies have fumbled eight times, losing five. "Whoever can get [their turnovers] rectified the quickest, will probably win on Saturday," Novak said.
