The Northern Illinois Huskies have been on quite the roller coaster the past few years. After a winless 2020, the Huskies rebounded in 2021 - going 9-5 and winning the MAC Championship - only to fall back to the bottom of the MAC West last season, with a 3-9 (2-6 MAC) record.
And with that reality check last year, there have been quite a few changes for the Huskies - both on the field and on the sidelines.
But first, there are quite a few familiar faces returning to DeKalb this season. Quarterback Rocky Lombardi, who missed most of last season with an injury, is back and will most certainly be under center come September.
