The Northern Illinois Huskies take to the road for the first time in 2022, as they travel 9.5 hours (670 miles) south to Tulsa, Oklahoma to square off against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.
NIU (1-0, 0-0 MAC) is coming off a close victory over Eastern Illinois. The Huskies saw their 28-6 lead evaporate in the second half but they were able to hold on to win 34-27. Tulsa was in a dogfight against Wyoming and, as the Huskies know all too well, those normally end up going the Cowboys way, as they claimed a 40-37 win over Tulsa in double overtime.
