PROVO — Over the past decade, Northern Illinois has emerged as one of the Mid-American Conference’s top teams.
The Huskies won the league outright in 2011, 2012 and 2014, including an appearance in the Orange Bowl in 2012.
This season, NIU is undefeated in MAC play (4-0) but winless in non-conference games (3-0), with losses to Iowa, Utah and Florida State.
