Two weeks ago, the Northern Illinois Huskies upset a Notre Dame team then ranked #5 in the country. A bye week followed that win, but NIU returned to the field

Defensively the Bulls are allowing just 18 points and 311.3 yards per contest. Buffalo’s defense has held opponents to 123.3 rushing yards per game and 188.0 passing yards, while tallying seven sacks and picking off four passes.

NIU played host to the Buffalo Bulls in a MAC game and were upended, 23-20, in overtime. Buffalo’s winning margin came on a 37-yard field goal by Upton Bellenfant. The Bulls improved to 3-1 and the Huskies are 2-1. It was the second time in school history Buffalo beat a ranked opponent.
