(WSCR) - While the Nothern Illinois Huskies won their fifth straight, Central Michigan lost their fifth straight. Nothern Illinois came out on top with a dominant 33-7 victory.

DE KALB, Ill. (AP) Chad Spann rushed for three touchdowns and 101 yards while Michael Cklamovski added four field goals in Northern Illinois' 33-7 Mid-American victory over Central Michigan on Saturday.
