The Northern Illinois Huskies will play in the Cure Bowl on Friday evening, where they’ll face off against the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (10-2, 6-2 Sun Belt). The game kicks off at 6 p.m. (5 p.m. CST) and will be broadcast on ESPN2. But, before it does, here’s a look back at NIU’s bowl history.
This will be the Huskies’ 19th bowl game ever and their 14th at the FBS level. Friday’s game will be the first time the Huskies have gone bowling since 2018, and they’ll be looking for their first bowl win in nearly a decade— having last won a bowl game during the 2011-12 season.
