The Northern Illinois Huskies are headed to Ford Field in Detroit for the seventh time in eight years for a post-season game...however, instead of vying for the MAC Championship Game, the Huskies will be participating in the Quick Lane Bowl against the Duke Blue Devils (6-6, 3-5 ACC). It will be the first ever meeting between the Huskies and Blue Devils and both teams’ first appearance in the Quick Lane Bowl.
Duke is the second ACC team that the Huskies will battle this season, as NIU lost a nail-biter to Boston College in Week 1.
