NIU Wishes Notre Dame Good Luck in CFP Title Game with Highlight Video from Upset Win

Northern Illinois had some fun with their video of support to Notre Dame.

As Notre Dame prepares for its National Championship matchup against Ohio State, the Huskies sent a "good luck" video to the Irish. In the video, the Huskies showed highlights of their 16-14 victory over the Irish in September.

Ahead of the title game, the Huskies remain the only team that has defeated Notre Dame this season. Northern Illinois put up 388 yards on the Irish, intercepted quarterback Riley Leonard twice and forced Notre Dame to be just 3-of-10 on third down.

It was the highlight win of the year for Northern Illinois, who finished 8-5 and won the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl over Fresno State. Notre Dame's season looked like it was in trouble following the loss, but the Irish managed to rattle off 13 consecutive wins, including key victories over Army, Indiana, Georgia and Penn State.

A victory over the Buckeyes on Monday night would give Notre Dame its 12th National Championship and its first since 1988. It would also give Northern Illinois a major bragging point forever as the only team to topple the Irish in its dream season.
