No. 23 Northern Illinois looks to keep it going this weekend at home against Buffalo after pulling off the upset of the season at then-No. 5 Notre Dame two weeks ago.

The win over the Fighting Irish vaulted the Huskies (2-0) into the AP poll for the first time in 11 years at No. 25. They moved up to 23rd following a bye last week, and will try to build on their big win when they host Buffalo in their MAC opener on Saturday.
