This victory marks the biggest upset in Northern Illinois football history, as they beat Notre Dame 16-14 despite being a 28-point underdog and facing a historically daunting task.
The Fighting Irish had been expected to dominate after a convincing win against Texas A&M, but they faltered against the Huskies, struggling in execution and discipline throughout the game.
Despite the pressure of an apparent fourth down ruling against them, the Huskies calmly executed their game plan, ultimately leading to Kanon Woodill's decisive 35-yard field goal.
Notre Dame’s failure to capitalize on opportunities, showcased by a blocked kick that could have shifted the game's momentum, proved fatal in their quest to maintain their rank.
