Other MVFC team non-conference games

[UNI Fight]

Illinois State couldn't hold on tonight and loses to directional Illinois rival Eastern Illinois 33-26.

Western Illinois loses on the road to Sam Houston State 20-6.

Side note: Our upcoming opponent Stephen F. Austin beat, what I believe to be a high school team McMurry, 82-6...ESPN.com didn't even have a logo for McMurry. I was curious so I Googled them and the McMurry War Hawks have a big banner on their web site that says "Move to division II APPROVED!" So they're Division 3 that is transitioning to Division 2. Doesn't seem like a real test for SFA but it's a W.

A non-counting W. Better it hope does not come down to that for them. They could have gotten a game with a PFL team for slightly more money, probably.

I would guess NAIA moving to DivII.

Re: Other MVFC team non-conference games

And to add insult to injury, for a Western Illinois coach to say that when McMurry is in Illinois about 150 miles away from Macomb.

Stupid comment when our school is also has a "directional" name. Plus ISUr and EIU are not rivals, Eastern and Western are.

Re: Other MVFC team non-conference games

McMurry = DIII schools moving to DII, Their coach is trying to schedule as many FCS/FBS teams as possible as he wants to move to SLC...and needs to show the school what it takes.

McMurry didn't punt until the almost the end of the 1st half. It's hard not to score on a team when you're starting every drive on their 20.

Good way for us to get our QB used to a game..but we have it rough with UNI, Baylor, then Texas State in the next 3 weeks.

That's MacMurray college in Jacksonville, IL. McMurray is located in Abilene,texas.

also isu and eiu are rivals last night was their 100th meeting and they play for some traveling trophy

Care to explain why SFA was still throwing the ball, instead of running the ball, late in the game..


OR GOING FOR TWO WHEN UP BY 30-50?

Re: Other MVFC team non-conference games

WIU looked beyond bad. It looks like it's between them and MSU for last.


ISUr didn't grow a defense from last year. A likely 4-4 finish in conference again

Practice.... Does it really hurt that much more to lose 82-0 as opposed to say 50-0?

Because, you obviously have to show how classy you are by showing your utter dominance over a team that is in a division lower than you.... duh.

Does it matter if you win 50-0 or 82-0?

Show some freaking class. There is no reason to try to humiliate teams like that.

Oh, and in case you don't think SFA could have run the ball a couple more times....507 yards passing, 668 total offense, 2 passing TDs in the 3rd and 4th quarter

Re: Other MVFC team non-conference games

Those stats also tell me that they don't HAVE a running game. You don't rack up 507 yards passing starting on your opponents' 20. Maybe this means we practice pass defense more before we play them?

They are rivals. They even have a trophy for the game, I can't remember what it's called. They showed it on the game. Both teams looked like it was the first game of the year.
