Opponent Overview Northern Illinois Huskies

Among the membership of the Mid American Conference, nobody has been a thorn in UB’s side like NIU. The Bulls have played the huskies thirteen times since 1968 and have lost the last twelve games.

Including an epic NIU comeback in the last meeting, the 2018 Mid American Conference Championship game. The last Buffalo coach to beat Northern Illinois, Doc Ulrich, left Buffalo after the 1968 season and was hired by .... NIU

Yup, the pups seem to have had our number ever sine they poached Doc Ulrich. If UB wants to have a memorable season this year they can start by getting the Husky off their back.
