The road heavy schedule is almost over. All that remains for Buffalo is a trip to Dekalb to take on the Northern Illinois Huskies. NIU has already surpassed it's win total from last year and is well on it's way to seeing a 20 win season. Problem is that they are in a funk as of late. The Huskies just lost two games to Akron and Miami on the road. Anyway, here's your preview on them:
