2022 Week 8 Preview: NIU Huskies at Ohio Bobcats

After snapping a five game losing skid last week, the Northern Illinois Huskies will look to win two in a row as they square off against the Ohio Bobcats this Saturday.

The Bobcats (4-3, 2-1 MAC) have won two in a row, beating up on Akron and Western Michigan in back-to-back weekends. Ohio has looked real good the past few weeks, winning by 21 and 19 respectively, and are just one game behind the Buffalo Bulls for the top spot in the MAC East.

The Huskies (2-5, 1-2 MAC) got starting quarterback Rocky Lombardi back from injury last week and the offense (and defense) rolled, as NIU claimed their first MAC win of the year with a 39-10 thumping of Eastern Michigan.
