Every now and again, college football reminds fans that anything can happen in a game.

That was proven again Saturday inside Notre Dame Stadium when Northern Illinois knocked off No. 7 Notre Dame 16-14 on Saturday in one of the biggest upsets of the college football season.

That also resulted in an emotional postgame interview from Huskies coach Thomas Hammock as he joined NBC’s Zora Stephenson in postgame. A former NIU football player himself, Hammock was brought to tears as he talked about the impact of his team’s victory.

“I’m so proud of our kids (and) the coaches. They believed. They believed and we came here and got it done,” Hammock said as he came to tears.

Hammock’s display of emotion also moved those who saw it, including Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback and college football commentator Robert Griffin III. He captioned a video of Hammock’s display, saying, “Coach Thomas Hammock is a real man and real men cry.”

The Huskies sealed the win on both sides of special teams, as NIU hit a go-ahead field goal with 31 seconds remaining. They then blocked a 62-yard field goal from Notre Dame at the end of regulation to get the win.
