After a bye-week last weekend, the Northern Illinois Huskies will head to Nashville, Tennessee to play in their final non-conference game. They’ll meet the Vanderbilt Commodores, an SEC opponent that is looking to end a three game losing streak.
The biggest news of the week, though, is that the Huskies have once again lost starting linebacker Kyle Pugh for the season, this time with an apparent shoulder injury. The senior had nine tackles and three TFL in the first two games but sat last game against Nebraska before being ruled out for the season by Coach Hammock on Tuesday.
