Next week's opponent Northern Iowa currently leading South Dakota State at halftime 20-10.
Illinois State also up 20-7 at South Dakota with 11:57 in the 4th.
North Dakota State down in the 2nd quarter at the Fargodome against Missouri State
Mo State up 13-7 at NDSU going into the 4th. What Petrino has done there in just 2 years is truly incredible.
North Dakota up 34-10 over Western Illinois in the 4th. Probably the most impressive 2-4 team in FCS. We were lucky we didn't get to see Otis Weah last week.
UNI 26, SDSU 17, 4 mins left
Redbirds 20, S Dakota 14 (final).
Northern Iowa goes to South Dakota State and pulls out a 26-17 win.
North Dakota State is gonna survive 27-20 over Missouri State
We better play a lot better than last week at UNI and against MO St. Those are very tough teams. Amazing how Petrino has transformed MoSt in such a short time. Still don't understand how UNI lost to USD or MoSt lost to Youngstown.
SIU jumps to #3 in this weeks rankings as expected. On to Cedar Falls!
Anyone else notice Todd Hefferman's complete inability to interpret data? We are RANKED 3rd, not the 3rd toughest schedule. His strength of schedule tweet only had 2 numbers to reference per team, and even with a 50/50 shot at guessing, he was wrong. Lol.
All jokes aside, according to the original tweet, SIU is ranked 15th in SOS, while the top 2 teams above them are 61st and 29th. It is good to see numbers like this because I do feel like we have played much tougher teams than the other two. NDSU, however, will see some tough teams coming up though.
South Dakota just beat South Dakota State on a Hail Mary
