The NIU Huskies start their season in the friendly confines of Huskie Stadium in a season full of roster changes, and are set to play host to the Buffalo Bulls, a roster full of returnees who are winners of six of their last seven games.
The Huskies look to continue the rebuild under second year head coach Thomas Hammock, a former NIU RB, and will come into this matchup as one of the youngest teams in the conference. It’s a unique place the NIU fanbase finds themselves in, after being spoiled over the last decade by some truly remarkable teams.
