The Northern Illinois Huskies will embark on their third consecutive road game as they travel to Muncie, Indiana to take on the Ball State Cardinals in the Battle for the Bronze Stalk trophy this Saturday.
This weekend marks the 46th meeting between these conference foes, with the Huskies claiming a narrow 23-20-2 advantage over the Cardinals thanks to a current nine game winning streak against Ball State. The Cardinals last victory was back in 2008 and they’ll look to avenge the 63-17 drubbing they took last year.
It will also be the 11th game in which the Bronze Stalk Trophy will be awarded.
