2018 MAC Football Game Preview: Utah Utes at Northern Illinois Huskies

After a disappointing start to their season (a 33-7 loss to Iowa), the Northern Illinois Huskies will head home to take on the Utah Utes, the first ever PAC-12 team to come to DeKalb.

For NIU, it’s only their second game against a PAC-12 opponent, and their first in 22 years, as the Huskies lost to Oregon State 67-28 in November of 1996. Conversely, this will be the first time the Utes face a MAC squad.
