Huskies take field for first Orange Bowl practice

It's been a crazy week for the Northern Illinois football team.

Saturday, the Huskies took the field for the first time since their Mid-American Conference Championship victory in Detroit, holding their first pre-Orange Bowl practice at Huskie Stadium.

"It didn't feel real that we made the Orange Bowl until we stepped on the field," NIU quarterback Jordan Lynch said. "Now we're starting practice, watching film on Florida State. Just getting back out there and shaking out the dust. Just getting after it."
