Still licking its wounds from a 38-28 loss to Vanderbilt, Northern Illinois is anxious to hit the road to face a Top 10 Kentucky football team.
“They’re a good football team. They’re ranked in the Top 10 for a reason,” said fourth-year Northern Illinois head coach Thomas Hammock. “As a competitor and as a player, these are the moments you want. These are the moments you live for. Go out there, embrace it and have fun.”
The Huskies ended last week’s game without starting quarterback Rocky Lombardi.
