The fourth installment of the Quick Lane Bowl will feature the Duke Blue Devils (6-6, 3-5 ACC) and the Northern Illinois Huskies (8-4, 6-2 MAC) and takes place in Detroit’s Ford Field - a familiar venue for the Huskies, who played in six straight MAC Championship games there from 2010-2015.
This will be NIU’s first ever match up against Duke’s football program and their second game against an ACC foe this season, after they opened the year with a 23-20 loss to Boston College.
It will be the 88th all-time meeting between the MAC and the ACC.
