The Huskies exploded the first time Hammock used this pass. “We don’t need luck,” he said in a team meeting. His rallying cry defeated their opponents, the lucky elves. Hammock’s four-word sentence became NIU’s driving force. No need to be a superhero. Just play hard, and believe that doing your best is enough. No luck needed. “It touched the hearts of the entire team,” said veteran cornerback Jaden Dolphin. “As the week went on, we kept repeating it: We don’t need luck.”

Northern Illinois’ veterans know they can beat Power Four opponents. The Huskies won at Boston College last season and at Georgia Tech in 2021. Hammock, a former running back, shined in the team’s 2002 victory at Wake Forest. Those programs don’t have an advantage over Notre Dame, but Hammock believes his Huskies can match the No. 7 ranked opponent in the LBM USA Coaches Poll. “For me, the game went the way I thought it would,” Hammock said. “We stayed in the fight long enough to have a chance to win.”
The Huskies are an experienced team. Many of their best players on Saturday were with the program as NIU won the 2021 MAC. Including veteran winger Antario Brown. He ran for 99 yards against the Irish, added 126 receptions and scored the team’s only touchdown.
