Nevada Wolf Pack look to bounce back vs winless NIU

DEKALB, IL (KOLO) - The Nevada Wolf Pack football team is looking to bounce back from a blowout loss to New Mexico as it hits the road to play the winless North Illinois Huskies.

The game will be played at 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 14 and will be broadcast on MW+.

Nevada is coming off a 31-3 loss in Reno to a ranked New Mexico team.

NIU is a new addition to the Mountain West conference, having moved over from the MAC.

In their first year in a new conference, the Huskies have been one of the country’s worst teams, notching a record of 0-9 so far this year.

NIU is coming off a 30-19 loss to San Jose State on Nov. 7.

This Saturday’s matchup will be just the third all-time meeting between the two programs, and the first time they have played since 1994 when Nevada won 35-31. All three meetings between the two were conference matchups when the two programs were part of the Big West Conference.
