    WIU Facts

    15 turnovers committed by them in 3 games: Thats bad

    Lost to I-A Toledo and Stephen F. Austin by a combined score of 125-50
    Toledo could have a great season but being blown out by Stephen F. is inexusable.
    -In that game SFA had 468 passing yards and 195 on the grounds. Thats the sign of a bad defense.

    Barely beat a bad Northern Colorado team in Macomb: 28-23
    -They gave up 245 passing yards and 168 rushing yards to a bad I-AA newcomer

    Beat lowly Iowa Wesleyan, 70-7: This win says nothing.

    Their best players are:
    RB Travis Glasford: He has a problem with fumbling
    WR Reggie Gray: He could give us fits on special teams. Fast as heck.

    Macomb has been a trap for UNI.
    97 - we fumbled a fg snap and they returned it for a touchdown in OT to break the streak of playoff appearances.
    99 - went down there expecting to be in the playoffs, got pounded, and stayed home for thanksgiving once again.
    01 - tough game. SLobbernocker. Came out with a win thanks to Mac Hoambreaker and Jegbomb.
    03 - trap game for me and Jegbomb. Made the mistake of riding in a van to the game with 4 women. Nothing like 4 hours in a car with 4 girls who could care less about football. Panthers came out big, but Russ Michna almost brought WIU all the way back from a large deficit.

    You had to bring up that miserable game in '99. I think Helming attempted 60 passes that day. Beautiful day ruined by terrible football.
    If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

      I think he threw like 5 picks too.

        Article about WIU's Glasford and the game with Iowa Weslyan

        Some interesting reading as we attempt to assess the Leathernecks.

          Iowa Wesleyan

          What division are they? I guess I didn't pay any attention to this ahead of time, but did WIU keep scoring with third stringers or did they leave starters in longer than usual. That's a pretty lopsided score in any division.

            It should be a good game with Western having their homecoming and I think we need to control Glasford and Gray but I don't see Western being able to stay with UNI's Offense as long as we don't turn the ball over a bunch.

            I see the Capn is on maybe he can give us some of his professional insight to the game.

              They are NAIA not NCAA and belong to the MSFA or Mid States Football Assoc. as part of the MidWest league. They are in last place in their conference. see: http://www.mid-statesfootball.org/Schedule.htm

              "The Tigers trailed 42-0 at halftime and 63-0 early in the fourth quarter. Western Illinois took advantage of a short field, with help from IWC turnovers. The Tigers fumbled o*n three consecutive possessions in the second quarter, each turnover leading to a touchdown by the Leathernecks. o*ne of IWC's fumbles was recovered in the end zone for a touchdown."

              Here is a recap of the game from the IWC site:
              http://www.iwc.edu/athletics/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=177


              Sounds like all WIU had to do was show up... Not too good for the IWC Tigers.

                I wonder what the relationship is with WIU and them. Didn't they just play a year or two ago? This seems like an odd match up and a real big jump. You almost have to throw this game completely out. I don't think you can tell anything about WIU based on playing an NAIA school. Now I'm back to thinking that if UNI shows up with its A game, we'll destroy them.

                  I am with you on that thinking UNIA. It sounds like IWC's offense scored most of WIU points, rather than WIU doing much...

                      I believe that these two schools are approximately 1.5 hours apart, maybe 2. That would make travel easy and pretty cheap opponent. Still not right though, they are probably that far from CF too and we have not brought them in. I want William Penn

                        This a bit of what the Sports network is saying about the game saturday.

                        UNI’s offense probably won’t slow down any time soon. And the unit will probably roll against the beleaguered Western Illinois defense. The Leathernecks have already allowed more than 60 points twice this season. The Travis Glasford led offense can score, but not enough to keep up with a more balanced and talented Panther team. Prediction: Northern Iowa 49, Western Illinois 21


                        Hope it is just like that Go Panthers !!!
