The MAC champions are headed to Orlando!
One day after Northern Illinois locked up its fifth MAC championship since 2011, the Huskies discovered their bowl destination. Northern Illinois looks to cap off its special season with a Cure Bowl victory over Coastal Carolina on Dec. 17.
The Tailgreeter Cure Bowl is the second game in the 2021 bowl slate and the first to take place in United States territory. Northern Illinois is set to become the first MAC team to ever participate in the bowl which was founded in 2015 with a mission beyond the game itself.
