NIU football plays its home games at Huskie Stadium on the campus of the Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. The Huskies compete in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) as a member of the West Division, where they have won five championships in 1983, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2018. They have played in twelve post-season bowl games since 2004, most notably the 2013 Orange Bowl. HistoryEarly historyNIU's football program was established in the late 19th century, playing its first ever game against DeKalb High School in 1899 and was led by coach John L. Keith to the team's first ever victory. NIU started out in the independent scene from 1899 through 1919 before joining the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The team became independent again in 1925. NIU returned to the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1928 and finished the season winless for the first time. In 1929 however, Red Evans took over as the head football coach and immediately twisted the downhill fate of his team as he led his squad to a 6–1–1 record. Evans led the Huskies to continuous winning seasons since his take over, and his efforts paid off in 1938 as NIU captured the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship, the team's first title. He followed it up with three more championships (1941, '44, and '46) and even led the Huskies' to a back-to-back bowl game appearance in 1946 and 1947. In 1950, the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, which had dwindled down to only five members (NIU, SIU, EIU, WIU, and ISU) accepted its first members from out of state and changed its name to the Interstate Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. With the exception of the spotless season (9–0–0) in 1951 that earned the team a 5th conference title, NIU failed to make a decent showing during the first few years in the newly named conference. Howard Fletcher though had other plans as he picked up the pieces of the miserable 0–8–1 season from Robert Kahler in 1956. The Huskies' had a slow progress that picked up in the late 1950s. The team's third bowl game appearance in 1962, although a loss, was only the beginning of good things to come as in the following season, the Huskies completed their sixth undefeated season which earned them the Interstate Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship, an AP College Division National championship selection, and a ticket to the prestigious Mineral Water Bowl which the team eventually won over Missouri State. The team made it a three-peat championship, adding up the 1964 and 1965 conference titles. NIU became independent from 1966 through '72 before joining the Mid-American Athletic Conference in 1973. The team claimed the MAC title in 1983 then went on to their first Bowl Game in the Division I-A, the California Bowl, which the Huskies won over Cal State-Fullerton. The team left the MAC after the 1985 season and first became independent from 1986–92, then joined the Big West Conference from 1993 through '95, becoming independent again in '96, then finally was admitted back into the Mid-American Conference in 1997. Joe Novak era (1996–2007)Joe Novak took over the Huskies program in December 1995, and coached his first NIU game in September 1996. The first three years of Novak's tenure proved to be tumultuous, as his Huskies squads won a total of three games between 1996 and 1998. Despite this, Novak kept his job and turned the program around. On October 17, 1998, the Huskies broke their epic losing streak, by defeating Central Michigan University 17-6. The student body tore down the goal posts, and carried them down Lincoln Highway, planting the goal posts in a campus lagoon.[4] University president John LaTourette personally paid to have new goal posts installed. In 1999, NIU won 5 games, and in 2000 Novak started a string of seven consecutive winning seasons, going 6–5 in both 2000 and 2001. After a 1–3 start to the 2002 season, fans{{Who|date=September 2016}} began to see the fruits of Novak's labor as the team ripped off 7 consecutive wins, and only a 33–30 loss in their final game against rival Toledo prevented a MAC Championship Game appearance. Optimism was high to start the 2003 season,{{citation needed|date=September 2016}} with 12 returning starters including prospect and future NFL players Michael Turner, Doug Free, Brad Cieslak, P.J. Fleck, Dan Sheldon, Keith Perry, Vinson Reynolds, Akil Grant, Randee Drew, and Travis Moore. On opening weekend, the Huskies beat No. 14 Maryland, 20–17, in overtime. Then, the Huskies traveled to Tuscaloosa and beat No. 21 Alabama, 16–13. After beating Iowa State the following week, the Huskies were rolling and won their first 7 games. Following their week 5 win against Ohio, the first BCS standings were released, and by week 7 the Huskies had climbed to No. 10 overall. Novak and the Huskies could not keep that momentum going, as they lost in week 8 at No. 22 Bowling Green, which also featured the first ever ESPN GameDay appearance for a MAC football game. The Huskies lost one more game in 2003, to Toledo, finishing the year 10–2, unranked, and uninvited to a bowl game. Novak's 2004 and 2006 teams both went to bowl games. The 2004 team went to the Silicon Valley Classic in San Jose, California and was the first Huskies team to go bowling in 21 years. The Huskies fell behind early, 14–0, to a Troy team that featured current NFLer DeMarcus Ware, but were able to rally behind future NFL running back Garrett Wolfe and the accurate passing of Josh Haldi to win, 34–21. In 2006, Wolfe and company returned to a bowl, the Poinsettia Bowl, against TCU and lost 37–7. Novak's final year was a tough one, winning only 2 games and finishing at the bottom of the MAC West. Overall Novak won 63 games as the Huskies' head coach. He currently{{When|date=September 2016}} is retired and resides in North Carolina. The Huskies finished the 2007 season having produced a 1,000-yard rusher in the previous nine consecutive seasons, starting in 1999, including rushers Thomas Hammock, Michael Turner, Garrett Wolfe and Justin Anderson. Jerry Kill era (2008–2010)Jerry Kill was hired to replace the retiring Joe Novak after the 2007 season. Kill was previously the head coach at Southern Illinois University, an FCS football program, making NIU his first FBS head coaching job. Kill led the Huskies to three straight bowl appearances in his three years as head coach, all three with quarterback Chandler Harnish. In 2010, Kill led the Huskies to the MAC Championship, but NIU fell to Miami (Ohio). On December 5, 2010, the day after NIU's loss in the MAC Championship, Kill tendered his immediate resignation and accepted the position of head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Coach Kill's resignation would leave harsh feelings in the Huskie locker room, as the players learned of his resignation through email. This left the Huskies without a coach, less than two weeks before they were to appear in the 2010 Humanitarian Bowl. Despite Kill's departure, the Huskies won their bowl game, defeating Fresno State in the 2010 Humanitarian Bowl. Back-to-back MAC championshipsOn December 13, 2010, Dave Doeren was named the new head coach. The Huskies went 11–3 in his first season and they won their first MAC Championship since 1983 in a 23–20 comeback win against Ohio, while also defeating the Arkansas State Red Wolves in a come-from-behind game in the 2012 GoDaddy.com Bowl. Inclusive of the 2012 season, NIU has won 10 conference and three division titles, appeared in 13 Division I-A and College Division bowl games (winning five), has accumulated 535 wins, and has an all-time winning percentage of .533.[5] 2012 ended up being another memorable season in DeKalb, with the emergence of quarterback Jordan Lynch. Lynch was replacing Huskie QB Chandler Harnish, the decorated NIU starting QB for the previous three years. There was hope that Lynch would be a good quarterback, but no one could have predicted what Lynch ended up doing in the 2012 campaign. Lynch ended the season passing for 2962 yards, 24 touchdowns with five interceptions. He also ran for 1751 yards and 19 rushing touchdowns. The 1751 rushing yards are the most ever by a quarterback in the FBS, surpassing a record set in 2011 by Denard Robinson of the University of Michigan. Lynch's marquee game was on November 14 against Toledo, where Lynch threw for 407 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing for another 162 yards. Lynch lead the Huskies to an 11–1 record, a No. 21 ranking in the BCS poll and their third consecutive MAC West Divisional Championship. In the MAC Championship Game, NIU defeated No. 17 Kent State Golden Flashes 44–37 score in double overtime. Lynch scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime. The win eventually propelled the team to No. 15 in the BCS Standings, granting them their first-ever appearance in a BCS bowl game, the 2013 Orange Bowl against Florida State.[6] The day after the MAC Championship game, Doeren was hired as the new head coach for North Carolina State University.[7] Rod Carey took over and coached the Huskies in the Orange Bowl, but NIU eventually lost 31–10 to the Seminoles.[8] The Orange Bowl was the first of Carey's four bowl losses: Orange Bowl (2013); Poinsettia Bowl (2014 & 2016); and the Boca Raton Bowl (2015).[9] Following a bitter end to the 2012 campaign, NIU looked to build their momentum in 2013. In front of two sellout crowds, the Huskies increased their NCAA record home win streak to 26 games. Following the conclusion of the regular season, NIU was poised to bust the BCS yet again. They sat 12–0 after cruising through their schedule, and were sitting above an AQ conference champion in the BCS standings. Jordan Lynch became the first Huskie ever to be invited to the Heisman trophy ceremony in New York, finishing 3rd. Following their regular season, heartbreak happened for the Huskies. They lost both their conference championship, as well as their bowl game (Poinsettia Bowl) to finish the season 12–2, leaving Jordan Lynch with a career record of 24–4.[10] 2013 would be the apogee of Rod Carey's stint as Huskie head coach; each season after would find the Huskies losing more games than the season before.[5] Following the season, 3 Huskies had All-American honors. Jordan Lynch was a first team all purpose AP All American, Jimmie Ward was a first team Sports Illustrated (second team AP), and Tommie Lee Lewis was an honorable mention (AP).[11] Conference affiliationsNorthern Illinois has been a member of the following conferences.[12]{{rp|182}}{{better source|date=December 2018}}

† Interim head coach for 2010 Humanitarian Bowl ‡ Interim head coach for 2013 Orange Bowl RivalriesBall State{{main|Bronze Stalk Trophy}}Northern Illinois holds a 24–20–2 series lead over Ball State through the 2018 season.[16] ToledoNorthern Illinois and Toledo have played each other 46 times dating back to 1967. Toledo currently holds a 31-15-0 series lead over Northern Illinois through the 2018 season. Since about 2010, the road to the MAC Championship has been paved for both teams based on the result of their meeting. Although the two schools did not formally begin a rivalry with each other, around 2005, things had begun to heat up; Northern Illinois had finally beat Toledo (35-17) after losing the previous 11 meetings. Two seasons later in 2007, the Rockets beat the Huskies 70-21 in Toledo. The 2007 loss fueled a hatred in Huskies players, coaches, and fans for the Rockets. The following year, the Huskies would beat the Rockets 38-7 and lose a nail-biter in 2009 by 1 point (20-19). From 2010 through 2015, Northern Illinois would pull off a 5 game win-streak with their most impressive victory being 65-30 over Toledo in DeKalb. This thrashing of the Rockets for many fans felt like payback for the 2007 loss. The 2010 meeting would fuel a showdown in 2011 that may go down as the best game played between the Huskies and the Rockets and possibly in Mid-American Conference regular season history. Northern Illinois and Toledo combined for 123 points in a game that ended with Northern Illinois Quarterback Chandler Harnish leading a 9 play, 66 yard drive that would end with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Wide Receiver Perez Ashford with 19 seconds left to play in the 4th Quarter. This touchdown pass put the Huskies up 62-60, and after a converted extra point, 63-60. After getting the ball back, the Rockets had no magic left and could not score on a final pass attempt that ended at the Huskies 25-yard line. Miami (OH)Northern Illinois and Miami (OH) have played each other 18 times dating back to 1970 (this includes their meeting in the 2010 Mid-American Conference Championship Game, they have met 17 times during the regular season). Northern Illinois currently holds a 9-8-0 series lead over Miami (OH) through 2018 (this does not include the 2010 Mid-American Conference Championship (MACC) game result, Miami (OH) 26-21 victory over Northern Illinois). It was not until the 2018 season that the two schools introduced an official rivalry trophy, formally creating the Battle for the Mallory Cup. The Miami (OH) RedHawks won the inaugural rivalry game meeting between the two teams on November 14, 2018 with a final score of 13-7. The Mallory Cup trophy is in memoriam of Head Coach Bill Mallory who played Tight End for and coached at Miami (OH) from 1969-73. Coach Mallory also coached at Northern Illinois from 1980-83. Since Northern Illinois and Miami (OH) are not in the same division, this rivalry is not protected (only Bowling Green vs Toledo has a protected annual rivalry so-far) and nor does it promise an annual meeting between the two teams (the only possibility of this is if they were to meet every year in the MACC). Although it may have not been stated, the possibility of this rivalry becoming a yearly fixture on both teams schedules is there; Toledo and Bowling Green's rivalry nicknamed "The Battle of I-75" is the only protected rivalry played by opposite division teams in the Mid-American Conference. The only opposition to this rivalry being protected and played annually is the fact that there is no known "bad blood" between the two programs that would make the meeting justifiable on a yearly basis besides the Mallory Cup trophy.
