Analysis: NIU football only has five home games this season
There’s still six months until college football season kicks off, but Northern Illinois fans got a little taste of it when the Huskies’ 2013 schedule was released Friday.
Quite frankly, it’s not the best schedule for fans of a team coming off of an Orange Bowl appearance. There’s only five home games, and just one the first seven weeks of the season. Only two of them stand out – the Nov. 13 game against Ball State, a team which should contend for a MAC West title, and the Nov. 26 contest against Western Michigan in P.J. Fleck’s return.
We’re still a long way from kickoff, and there’s plenty we’ll learn about the Huskies and NIU’s opponents leading up to the season. For now, here is a look at each team on the Huskies schedule and took a shot at giving a Vegas line for each contest.
