2019 Northern Illinois Huskies Football Season Preview

The Northern Illinois Huskies will most likely have a new look this year after a complete coaching overhaul as well as some key losses, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

2018 Quick Recap

Last season NIU finished 8-6, finding a way to win their fourth MAC Championship in eight years but lost their bowl game in blowout fashion.

They struggled early, winning just one of their first four games (an early conference win against CMU), while dropping games against Iowa, Utah, and Florida State. But, from there, they rode a six game winning streak, which included a 7-6 victory at BYU, locking up a spot in the MAC Championship Game before dropping the final two games.
