Brady Davidson News, Rumors, Updates - Northern Illinois Huskies | FOX Sports

Fills in during fourth quarter Davidson was 5-for-8 passing for 73 yards and one touchdown during Tuesday's 35-19 loss to Western Michigan.

Impact Davidson did not get the starting nod in the loss to the Broncos, but he did come into the game in place of a struggling Jalen Macon during the fourth quarter. The freshman quarterback also played substantially better than Macon, throwing for 75 yards and a touchdown compared to Macon's five passing yards. It's likely the Huskies will keep Davidson under center for their season finale next Friday versus Kent State.

Listed as backup on depth chart Davidson is listed as a backup on Northern Illinois' depth chart for Saturday against Ball State, Skyler Kisellus of the Northern Star reports.

Impact Northern Illinois' updated depth chart suggests that Josh Holst will be the starting quarterback moving forward, as was the case in Week 8. Obviously, Davidson's demotion significantly dents his potential value, and he will have to wait until Holst commits a hiccup.

Gets start vs. RedHawks Davidson was 13-for-28 passing for 106 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 25-14 loss to Miami (OH).

Impact Davidson got his first career start in the loss to the RedHawks, but he finished with a not-so-great stat-line. The freshman quarterback luckily found the end zone and kept the Huskies relatively competitive, but he also threw an interception and totaled just 106 passing yards. If he starts again next week at Eastern Michigan, he'll look to improve.
