Cure Bowl Prospect Preview: Northern Illinois Huskies vs. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers

Tonight, the Cure Bowl is at 6 PM. @joshkeatley16 gives us a Prospect Preview for Northern Illinois Huskies vs. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers #Browns

Bowl season begins this Friday and the spotlight in prime time will be on the Northern Illinois Huskies of the MAC who currently sit at 9-4 and the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers of the Sun Belt who stand at 10-2. It shouldn’t be a surprise that Coastal Carolina is currently a double digit favorite over Northern Illinois as their quick strike passing attack is one of the most efficient in the country.

Don’t count out the Huskies though as they have turned in a solid season and would like to hit double digits in the win column as a momentum boost for next season.

With all that said, that is not why we are interested in this game. These two teams have a few intriguing prospects and the following are a few options the Cleveland Browns may be interested in.

Northern Illinois’ Trayvon Rudolph has 309 receiving yards in wild loss to Kent State

Kent State and Northern Illinois combined for more than 1,300 yards in the Golden Flashes’ MAC victory

There was some wild, wild MACtion on Wednesday night.

Northern Illinois saw its undefeated mark in the conference erased after 5 victories in a 52-47 defeat at Kent State. The schools combined for 1,345 yards of total offense.

Northern Illinois receiver Trayvon Rudolph had 14 receptions for 309 yards and 3 touchdowns. Rudolph, a freshman, came into the game with 18 catches for 330 yards.

The Huskies lost their top receiver, Tyrice Richie, to injury early in the game.

The receiving yards by Rudolph — a school record — made up most of the 532 passing yards Michigan State transfer Rocky Lombardi threw for before having to exit the game in the fourth quarter after being hit on a targeting penalty by a Golden Flashes defender.

Lombardi was 33-of-57 with the trio of TDs to Rudolph. Jay Ducker rushed for 101 yards and 2 TDs for the Huskies

Kent State QB Dustin Crum was 20-of-30 for 322 yards and 2 TDs.

The Golden Flashes had a pair of running backs go over 100 yards and one receiver break the century mark.
