Northern Illinois had a great year in 2010 winning 10 games under head coach Jerry Kill. However, the Huskies coach, or now former coach, has left DeKalb to take the Minnesota job. NIU hired a new coach, Wisconsin Defensive Coordinator Dave Doeren, who will not coach the team in the H-Bowl. NIU Linebackers Coach Tom Matukewicz will serve as Interim Head Coach in the game.
Fresno State went 8-4 this season, with three of their losses to teams currently ranked in the AP Top-25, No. 10 Boise State, No. 13 Nevada and No. 24 Hawaii. The Bulldogs had some impressive wins, notching victories against Cincinnati of the BIG EAST in Week 1 and Illinois of the BIG TEN to end the season.
Reno Gold picks: I don't understand why Fresno State is the underdog in this game. If the Dogs play up to their talent level they win it going away. I expect the Bulldogs will cover as a +1 1/2 – chalk underdog.
