As another November comes along, so does another key game against Northern Illinois for the University of Toledo football team.
As has often been the case lately for Toledo, the road to the top of the Mid-American Conference West Division goes through Northern Illinois and so often the Huskies have caused heartbreak for the Rockets.
Northern Illinois (6-2, 4-0) comes into the Glass Bowl on Thursday with three straight wins at Toledo (7-1, 4-0) and wins in six of the last seven matchups between these budding rivals.
“If you are playing for something in November and you get to have a home game on your field that matters and means something, they are all big and they are all tough in our conference,” UT coach Jason Candle said.
