The Huskies’ 38-26 loss to the Northwood Timberwolves in Saturday’s season finale at Sherman Field pretty well sums up a disappointing season for Michigan Tech. The Huskies have battled injuries, poor special teams play and costly turnovers all season. Those factors, along with the Huskies inability to stop the run, prevented Michigan Tech (2-8, 2-8 GLIAC) from beating Northwood (7-3, 7-3 GLIAC) on Saturday.

Even though the 2009 Huskies football season has been disappointing from a win-loss perspective, and even though Saturday’s game does not carry with it any playoff implications, Michigan Tech (2-7, 2-7 GLIAC) will have plenty of motivation when they take the field against Northwood (6-3, 6-3 GLIAC) in the final game of the year. The Huskies will be seeking their first home victory of the year. They will be looking to earn their first winning streak of the year, after last week’s 21-14 win over Tiffin. The seven new Michigan Tech Hall of Fame inductees will be on hand to watch the game. And, thirteen senior Huskies will play their final game as a Husky.

When Tiffin’s David Singleton hauled in a four-yard touchdown run not even five minutes into Saturday’s contest between the Dragons and the visiting Huskies, and the Huskies threw an interception on the following drive, Michigan Tech fans must have been thinking, “here we go again.” Michigan Tech had given up the first points in a game five times this year, losing all but one of them . Fortunately for the Huskies, Tiffin was a far weaker team than recent opponents, and Tech’s comeback was successful in a 21-14 victory in the last road match of the year.

With no playoff hopes for the Michigan Tech Huskies (1-7, 1-7 GLIAC) or the Tiffin Dragons (0-9, 0-8 GLIAC), pride alone is on the line. Tiffin has won only one game since entering the GLIAC last year, that coming in a four overtime affair against Northern Michigan last year. Only once this year has Tiffin been within two touchdowns of opponents, but that came last week in a 21-17 loss at Indianapolis (the Greyhounds beat the Huskies 38-20 earlier this year).

Nobody would have blamed the football Huskies, who have faced more than enough adversity so far this year, for giving up after falling behind 28-0 in what could only be described as a dreadful first quarter on Saturday afternoon at Sherman Field. Rather than take the easy way out, though, Michigan Tech showed their resiliency, outscoring the visiting Saginaw Valley State Cardinals 28-10 the rest of the way. The valiant comeback may have prevented the 1,522 fans from leaving, but it was too little too late once again for the Huskies, as they lost their seventh game of the season by a 38-28 count.

Despite having a 1-6 record, the Huskies football team can still salvage a respectable record and gain momentum heading into next season by winning its final three games. “We’re not looking ahead to next season yet, though,” said head coach Tom Kearly. “We’re still just trying to win the ball game this week.”
