I think we are in for a close, low-scoring game between these non-conference opponents on Saturday afternoon. Northern Illinois has not looked good at all to start the year. But I attribute that more to playing tough competition on the road than anything else. I'll take Northern Illinois to get a win at home here as they should improve to 2-0 at home on the season and 2-2 overall on the young college football season.
