Wolfe, the astral tynamo who remains in Heisman orbit for Northern Illinois, will lead the Huskies (3-2, 2-1) into their first Sunday night game against the winless RedHawks (0-5, 0-1). Miami is one of nine Division I-A teams that has yet to win this season.

“There’s only one thought in our minds — what can we do to win? Garrett will tell you the same thing,” Novak said. “I’d love to see Garrett with the Heisman Trophy, that would be awesome. But the only thing we’re worried about is what can we do to win the football game. We want to stay in the championship hunt.”
