Football faces second straight road test
Northern Star file photoThis game will be somewhat of a homecoming for several Huskies as there are 13 players who lived in Florida prior to committing to NIU. The Huskies (0-1) are coming off a tough loss against University of Wyoming after losing 40-34 in triple overtime.
This marked the longest game in NIU history and was their first overtime game since the 2012 Mid-American Conference championship game versus Kent State University.
This will be the fourth time the Huskies and Bulls have met, but the first since 2010 when South Florida won 27-3 in the International Bowl game in Toronto, Canada.
