2024 opponent Northern Illinois is 3rd in the nation with 20 players who have played their entire career with one team.

UMass has not played the Huskies since the 2012-2013. That was the PJ Fleck era at Northern Illinois and both games did not end well for the Minutemen.

  • 2012 UMass lost 0-63
  • 2013 UMass lost 19-63
