The Northern Illinois Huskies are coming off their 18th win over a P5 team after sneaking out of Chestnut Hill with a 27-24 overtime victory against Boston College. But this weekend’s match up is the definition of a trap game. And won’t be easy.
Sandwiched between a huge victory and another big game against Nebraska next week, the Huskies will take on in-state foe, and FCS opponent, the Southern Illinois Salukis.
While the Huskies need overtime to down their ACC opponent, SIU was able to cruise to a 49-23 victory over Austin Peay in their opening game, going up 35-0 midway through the third quarter and never looking back.
