NIU Vitals:
Location: Dekalb, Illinois (1,227 miles from USF; 67 miles west of Chicago)
Conference: MAC
Head Coach: Rod Carey (4th year as HC, 31-12)
Offensive Coordinator: Mike Uremovich (1st year) Multiple

NIU has been to six-straight MAC Championship Games (seven overall) and have won three titles.
USF is 2-1 all-time vs NIU, most recently in the 2010 International Bowl where the Bulls won 27-3. They also didn’t provide food for their cheerleaders, who were last seen scavenging the concession lines at Rogers Centre at halftime.
