Northern Illinois took down Ball State on Wednesday night in some midweek MACtion.
The Huskies clinched the win on a 32-yard field goal by kicker John Richardson as time expired. It was what you would probably call an easy kick — 32 yards, straight down the middle.
But, that didn’t stop Richardson from getting the party started after the kick split the uprights. As you can see below, he turned in the celebration of the year after sending the Huskies to 7-3 on the season:

That is quite the party, but his teammates were all too happy to oblige him in the aftermath of a hard-fought victory.
The win kept Northern Illinois in the top spot in the MAC West. At 7-3, the Huskies have the best record in the entire conference.
