The Northern Illinois Huskies will head to Athens, Ohio this weekend to face the favorite in the East - the Ohio Bobcats in what some had seen as a potential MAC Championship Game preview.
However, both teams have struggled so far this season and a lot of fans on both sides have some doubts creeping up.
Last week the Huskies (1-4, 0-1 MAC) looked great against Ball State for the first 30 minutes before completely falling apart in the second half, giving up 24 unanswered points and falling 27-20.
Conversely, Ohio (2-3, 1-0 MAC) needed overtime against Buffalo and, after a botched PAT attempt from the Bulls, the Bobcats were able to sneak away with a 21-20 win to start conference play.
