The Akron Zips visit the Northern Illinois Huskies on Wednesday night in a MAC showdown in college football.
The Northern Illinois Huskies go for their second straight win on Wednesday night when they host the Akron Zips in college football. The Huskies snapped a two-game losing streak last week when they beat Western Michigan 42-28. The win got them back over .500 on the season at 5-4 overall, but they still sit at just 2-3 in the MAC. The Huskies have one of the biggest upsets of the year, as they beat Notre Dame in overtime, but they have gone just 3-4 since that win. Wednesday they will look to win a second in a row and get back to .500 in the conference standings.
The Huskies have leaned heavily on the run game with Antario Brown and Gavin Williams both over 500 yards on the ground on the season. Both players have over 110 carries and they have combined for 1,097 yards and six touchdowns. Ethan Hampton has led the passing attack, as he has thrown for 1,256 yards and 11 touchdowns.

The Zips will have their hands full with the Huskies offense as they look to get a second win in their last three games.
They snapped a four-game winning streak two weeks ago when they knocked off Eastern Michigan, 25-21, but they couldn’t make it two in a row on Saturday when they fell to Buffalo 41-30.
The loss dropped them to 2-7 overall and just 1-4 in the MAC. It has not been a great season for the Zips, as they have struggled in conference play.
Three of their losses have come against Ohio State, Rutgers and South Carolina, but they have also had trouble keeping pace with the teams in the MAC.
