In last week’s season opener, the Northern Illinois Huskies were in a wild game against the Wyoming Cowboys that persevered through a two hour lightning delay and three overtimes before the Huskies finally fell to the Cowboys.
This week, the schedule doesn’t get any easier for NIU as they head south to Tampa, Florida to take on the USF Bulls. This will be the fourth meeting between the two teams, and the first since the 2010 International Bowl. The Huskies won the first meeting back in 2001 but lost in 2002 and then again in 2010.
The Bulls are coming off a big 56-20 win over FCS team Towson, a game in which they only had the ball for 22 minutes and still scored eight times.
