TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A trip to a fourth consecutive Mid-American Conference title game is on the line for No. 20 Northern Illinois at Toledo on Wednesday night.
The Huskies also look to improve upon a 23-game conference winning streak and return to the Bowl Championship Series.
Northern Illinois (10-0, 6-0 MAC) coach Rod Carey says his team needs to stay focused against a Toledo team that has won five straight.
Toledo (7-3, 5-1) won’t be just trying to play spoiler. The Rockets can move into position to win the MAC West and land a spot in the league’s championship with a victory over Northern Illinois.
