Game notes from Associated Press: The Blue Devils were 4-6 at one point this season, but finished the regular season with wins over Georgia Tech and Wake Forest to go 6-6, barely qualifying for a Christmas visit to Detroit. ... The 2017 season was also a rebound year for Northern Illinois. The Huskies went to eight straight bowl games, including a trip to the Orange Bowl in 2012, but a 1-6 start in 2016 ended that run. ... Northern Illinois might feel much at home at Ford Field. While they have never played in a bowl at the stadium, they have taken part in seven MAC championship games in Detroit, including six straight between 2010-2015.
