Thomas Hammock’s Postgame Interview Made NIU’s Huge Upset Over Notre Dame So Much Better

This is what college football is all about. The Northern Illinois Huskies had never beaten a top-10 opponent in the history of their college football program and on Saturday the MAC team was a four-touchdown underdog on the road in South Bend. That did not matter to head coach Thomas Hammock, who had every single player on the NIU sideline believing they could take down No. 5 Notre Dame and the Huskies did, winning 16-14, clinching the biggest upset in the school’s history by blocking a last-second field goal attempt.
