So it was a tale of two halves in the game Wednesday night at The Factory.

Eastern Michigan would find themselves with a 21-0 lead at halftime. Roughly 20 seconds into the second half, Northern Illinois would score its first touchdown.

They would then rally to a 24-21 lead. Eastern Michigan ended up tying to send the game to overtime.

Northern Illinois would strike first with a Jordan Huff touchdown. Eastern Michigan could not deliver the tying blow.

As an EMU alum, I've really got to hand it to the Huskies. They did well.
