It homecoming weekend for the Northern Illinois Huskies and they will host on of their biggest MAC rivals - the Toledo Rockets - on Saturday afternoon.
The Rockets (3-2, 1-0 MAC) bounced back last weekend, easily handiling Central Michigan in their MAC opener 38-17. It broke a two game losing streak in which the Rockets were outscored 94-31.
Northern Illinois (1-4, 0-1 MAC) will look to end their four game skid after falling to Ball State in double overtime last weekend. The Huskies have played the last few weeks without starting quarterback Rocky Lombardi and have still done well offensively with their backups.
