2021 Cure Bowl: Northern Illinois vs Coastal Carolina — Three Questions

Another college football regular season has come and gone, leaving us with memories of what was and what could have been for various programs across the nation.

For a lucky 88 teams, the year will be capped off with at least one more contest as bowl season is upon us. The seventh edition of the Tailgreeter Cure Bowl will take place on December 17, featuring Northern Illinois and Coastal Carolina.

NIU surprised many with their nine-win 2021 campaign and is seeking their first 10-win season since 2014. Coastal Carolina makes their return to the Cure Bowl, having lost a thrilling contest in this game last year to Liberty.
