2019 MAC Football End-of-Season Brief: Northern Illinois Huskies

The Northern Illinois Huskies had their fair share of ups and downs throughout the year.

New head coach Thomas Hammock had to deal with multiple injuries, a hellacious non-conference schedule, and a difficult conference slate (facing the two toughest teams in the East).

Finishing the season at 5-7 and sitting in fourth place in the MAC West wasn’t ideal for the team or many of the fans who have come to expect more from the Huskies...but after a complete coaching overhaul there’s bound to be a drop in production during the learning curve.
