The Huskies have been a tough out for some of college football's biggest brands over the last two decades
Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman started Northern Illinois week by speaking very highly of the second Fighting Irish opponent of the 2024 season.
Freeman went on to cite that Northern Illinois has a history of beating Power Four opponents which included winning at Boston College last year. Traditionally Northern Illinois is a team that has given fits to some of college football's elites and that is clearly the goal for the Huskies on Saturday as they sit as a 30-point underdog to Notre Dame.After beating Wake Forest and playing Wisconsin within a field goal the year before, Northern Illinois opened the season with a shocking 20-13 win over No. 15 Maryland. Two weeks later the Huskies upset No. 21 Alabama in Tuscaloosa 19-16.
