Northern Illinois Huskies look for their 20th victory while Eastern looks for revenge in their second meeting of the season.
Northern Illinois has been near unbeatable at home only losing to Buffalo good for a 16-1 record at home. Their problem has been the road which has posed problems for the young huskies. They lost to power five schools in Missouri and Ohio State during non conference play but played well in each game. The problem is that besides a one point loss to Kent State and a four point loss to Ball State they have been beaten by double digits on the road in each of their losses.
