Ingram Smith, Bud Elliott back again for another episode, the Noel Cass Bud.

It is our sometimes shorter but more condensed podcasts where we pretty much entirely focus on the next week's opponent.

This will be a Northern Illinois preview.

But a pretty interesting opponent, a team that kind of mirrors Florida State when it comes to some of its strengths and weaknesses and two teams that kind of match up.

It will be interesting to see how these two teams match up because what one is good at, the other teams to be decent and where they're both kind of really poor.

Who knows who's going to win that battle.

So as always, want to think Louisiana hot sauce for being there with us whether we're doing game previews or question and answer podcasts or anything else.

They've been a fantastic partner for three years.

Thank you so much to those of you who have supported them.

Rather, it's been a purchase in the store or a mention on Twitter or anything else.

It's just been a great relationship for both parties involved and they are and continue to be the driving force behind the Noel Cass.

So Bud, with that, let's jump into a little N.I.U. Hoki talk.

All right. So the N.I.U. Huskies here are Huskies.

Sorry, I thought we're going to have that apple.

Here I was the one bragging about having been to call Bill and I butchered to Dan mascot 80 seconds into the podcast.

I remember she's already lost to the Hoki's one time this year.

I don't like to do one anymore.

Yeah, that's true. Hoki's not really a real common name for teams either.

So I'm not sure what my brain exactly was a process in there.

But nonetheless, we'll jump into this Northern Illinois preview.

Oh, man. Well, hey, you know what? We're not the only one with a fall start tonight.

The Browns look like they too hopped their bubble screen on the first first play of the game.
