The Massachusetts Minutemen are ready to welcome the Northern Illinois Huskies to the McGuirk Alumni Stadium this Wednesday for a fiery encounter.
The Minutemen are yet to secure a victory, losing all nine games, including five in the conference. Their previous outing saw them get humbled by Akron, but when they face the Huskies, they'll be eager to live up to the expectations and secure their maiden win of the campaign.
The Huskies, too, have had a season to forget. To date, they have played nine games and lost seven. Their conference record shows they have won just once in five encounters. Moreover, they are yet to fetch a victory on the road. When they meet the Minutemen this Wednesday, they will aim to register their first away win of the season and better their overall 2-7 record.
