Northern Illinois tailback Garrett Wolfe earned the MAC West offensive player of the week award for the second consecutive week and the fourth time in six weeks. The honor is the league-record 11th for Wolfe during his career.
Wolfe carried 29 times for 162 yards and two touchdowns in NIU’s 28-25 victory at Miami of Ohio. The senior from Chicago leads the nation in rushing (223.8 yards per game), all-purpose yards (250.8 per game) and scoring (14.3 per game). . . .
NIU recorded its first pass interception of the season when freshman Cody Hanson picked off Miami’s Mike Kokal in the second quarter. . . . Junior kicker Chris Nendick extended his school-record scoring streak to 30 games.
