Rod Carey lost his first game as head football coach at Northern Illinois University.
That outing, a 31-10 defeat at the hand of Florida State in the 2013 Orange Bowl, is one of only six games he's dropped in his now two-plus seasons as the head man of the Huskies.
Carey took over for Dave Doeren in December 2012, after the latter left Dekalb, Ill., to take the head coaching position at North Carolina State. Prior to Doeren's exit, Carey was the offensive coordinator of the Huskies (a post he still currently holds), its offensive line coach and run game coordinator.
