Football: NIU to face Bowling Green in regular season as schedule announced

The Northern Illinois football team won't have to wait to the Mid-American Conference Championship game to potentially get another shot of Bowling Green.

The Huskies will face off against the Falcons at Huskie Stadium on November 1, one of five games at Huskie Stadium this year for NIU in the schedule the MAC released Monday.

The 2015 season was the third straight meeting for the two in the title game, and this year the teams will have a Tuesday showdown likely on ESPN2.

The season starts for the Huskies with a pair of road game at Wyoming and South Florida, then home games against San Diego State and Western Illinois.
