Hare owns offseason Quarterback works to refine deep pass for coming season Frank Gogola Sports Editor T @FrankGogola
DeKalb | Redshirt junior quarterback Drew Hare knew after the Boca Raton Bowl loss in December that his first season as football’s starting quarterback was far from great on a personal level. Hare guided the ship as the Huskies won their third MAC Championship in four seasons. But, he knew he was far from being the best player he could be. “He’s got to do a better job of throwing a deep ball. That’s No. 1,” said Bob Cole, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. “And then we have to be able to move

He used the time off to talk and work out with his old buddies from Fort Zumwalt West High School. When Hare and the rest of the Huskies returned to DeKalb for classes he said they took three or four days off before getting back on the field. From then until spring camp he worked out at player-run throwing sessions, which he said the team’s done every offseason he’s been at NIU.
