NIU coach Jerry Pettibone highlighted Adam Dach, a sophomore fullback from Byron, at the spring luncheon as a key reason for optimism for the 1989 season. Dach, who rushed for 906 yards as a sophomore, envisions a larger role with Marshall Taylor gone, and NIU eyes improvement with returning starters on both sides of the ball. The Huskies host an intrasquad game Team DeKalb versus Team Sycamore on April 29 at 2 p.m.
