Illinois state

So the gored birds(look up their website) come to town for Homecoming, I think this game will tell us alot on if our team has figured things out or if we are gonna get blown away later in the season.

Homecoming, the warners, new fundraising maybe something. God I hope so.

No idea what to think about them.

Blown out by Wisky, looked just god awful in a one score win over Valpo, looked fine against an awful Eastern Illinois team and then couldn't score against an SIU team that can't stop anybody.

Feels like a game we SHOULD win handily but this series gets weird at times.

I'm going to say we win 28-17 but I don't feel at all confident in that.

Volleyball match (also against Illinois State) in the McLeod starting at 7 pm
Football ticket gets you admission to the volleyball match too
And they said showing a volleyball ticket (for tomorrow night's match) can get you into the football game too, which might be a first.

We win 24-23.

Win is a win but I sure don’t want to sweat out a 1 pt win…….but I’ll take any win we can get….we just don’t have firepower to handily win a lot of games

Looks like a game we should win easily, but the way the front 4 plays and the D last week was bend but not break, letting ISUb control the clock and tempo. If ISUr can execute a similar game plan this week, the game will be closer than what it "should" be. I'm guessing 28-14 or 17. It's comfortable but not too comfortable.

interested to see what they do at half... I've seen on social media a post about a big announcement at half so I assume they are going to pump up the coming renovations.

[PantherAlum09]

Well that’s not a great start.

[run&blade]

I don’t care what the program says. The starters on the DLine are not even big enough to play linebacker. Blown up every play.

safeties at best.

only one is legit size. The can run all day to the left. The two Dbacks playing DLine don’t have a chance.

[PantherAlum09]

Good answer there. 3rd and long conversions are brutal.

[BrockLesnar]

We're toast, today. Losing on HC... That's where we have fallen ..

[01PantherFan]

guess lucky its just 10-7 there, D still cant seem to make tackles

[PantherAlum09]

It legitimately looks like we play with 10 guys on defense.

[sevelev711]

This defense is genuinely terrible. Getting a stop feels like a massive win and a cause for celebration, not something that's expected. It's kind of impressive. And that would be more tolerable if we had an O-Line that gave our pretty good quarterback more than 2 seconds.

[PantherAlum09]

If the Massey ratings have the UNI defense ranked 6th in the country, maybe it’s time to stop using the Massey ratings…

[01PantherFan]

I dont see UNI winning this one the way the D is playing IL St looking to score before half again
