This one is setting up to be a huge game. Perhaps a must-win if we want to make the playoffs.
ISU is coming off a bye week after easily handling Eastern. They're led by QB Zack Annexstad, an off-season transfer from Minnesota.
This is their family weekend, so I expect a big crowd, and I'm sure they'll be targeting this game to set the tone for their season.
Let's get revenge for the last time we played in Normal. A 51-3 stinker in 2018.
Flush the Red Chickens. Surprised Spack hasn't cancelled since we're favored.
I don't know much about them, but based on how we've played the last two weeks, I expect us to be about a touchdown favorite.
If you are planning to go to the game, then be aware that it is sold out. The last I heard was that there were some standing room left, and that any unsold student tickets will be released for sale. Don't make the drive and get caught without a ticket! You can probably get tickets on StubHub or a similar site.

I don’t know they know much about themselves either. Blown out by and FBS team and beat two lower tier FCS teams (only beat Valpo by 7). From what I have seen, similar to last year, solid defense and uninspired offense, at least so far. Their FBS transfer QB has more ints than TDs (4TD/5int). I thought they would have a pretty stout backfield, but no real big rushing games either.
I think they are talented, but just haven’t shown much yet. Any road game is tough and with the sellout, I think they’ll have a great atmosphere. Dawgs are the better team in my eyes, but they need to play well from the start. No spotting them 17 points like last year. Hoping for a big road win against a rival.

Don't think they're that talented. Spack has spent the last couple years dyeing his moustache! If we play like last week, could be an ass whipping! Sure hope so.

Almost
Yeah, almost. The reason they aren't, is because they spend half their time checking on the Illini.
March on triumphantly!
This game is on the Marquee Network also. 664 Directv.
Gameday! Let’s goooooo. I wonder how many fans Southern will have there. Sounds like it’ll be a fun atmosphere.
Need to grab this W.
North Dakota on top of MSU by 10 late in the game. That win last week may be bigger than we thought.

On the flip side, hate playing a Missouri State team that we've struggled with in basically a must-win game for them. Really need to get a win tonight.
I don't get why SIU stopped being creative with Javon Williams Jr the last few years and the first 2 games of this year but they're finally doing it again and it's working
