DeKALB – Northern Illinois University students brimmed with excitement as they waited to board buses bound for Miami.

In the words of many of the 1,300 students that filed through the Convocation Center on Sunday, seeing the Huskies play at the Orange Bowl for an affordable rate is too tough to pass up.

"I am graduating in May," said Julie Rodriguez, a family and child studies major. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for NIU. I want to come and cheer and support the Huskies."
