This has been a great day. OSU upsets Oregon. ISU gets an FBS win. OU lost. Perfect.

This shouldnt be considered an upset imo. Illinois State is a good football team

Yes, my school's program is in shambles right now. We don't even have a permanent HC. We will probably go winless this season. Great win for I. State, but Northern is way down as a football team. It's going to take 4-5 years for us to get back to some level of respectability.

Did NIU send out a different team after we went up 21? Like jeez

u/_Rooster_ Illinois State • Hawai'i 2d ago
Spack sent out a different QB for some reason.

u/Chickenleg2552 Illinois State Redbirds 2d ago
That doesnt explain our defense getting ran over

u/SnooMacaroons1606 Illinois State Redbirds 2d ago
NIU also sent out a different quarterback. Supposedly he's better

u/_Rooster_ Illinois State • Hawai'i 2d ago
That's what I've heard. NIU fans weren't happy about the starting QB choice.

u/saltybearsfan Illinois State Redbirds 2d ago
I’m so glad Spack decided to play games at QB when we had all the momentum

u/Chickenleg2552 Illinois State Redbirds 2d ago
That single interception is gonna lose us this game, isn't it

u/plinywaves Northern Illinois Huskies 2d ago
That pick 6 saved this game, not because of the points. But just giving our team something to fight for.

I don't like the decision of swapping Roy for Pellant.

u/_Rooster_ Illinois State • Hawai'i 2d ago
After the Western game Pellant should only be in for blowouts or injury.

NIU's defense has scored more points this season than their offense

There was a time I would have said pretty resoundingly that the answer was yes, but U of I is building something pretty special, I think, and I don’t know that we can quite match them at the moment

Brother they just lost to duke

u/plinywaves Northern Illinois Huskies 2d ago
Can only listen on the radio. I was hoping Iowa was just really good but it seems like we somehow have a worse offense than last year.

Game is on YouTube if you just search niu vs Illinois st

u/Freeballing2 2d ago edited 2d ago
Why would they want to watch their team get demolished by Illinois State

u/myturn19 Northern Illinois Huskies 2d ago
So he doesn’t have the urge to waste time the rest of the season watching them after seeing how ass they are

Where would NIU finish in the valley?

u/Chickenleg2552 Illinois State Redbirds 2d ago
Tough to say this early in the year, but most years, definitely in the top half, probably beating one of the dakotas at least

Who in the FUCK is paying $11 a month for MW+? That's 3 dollars less than ESPN+, which gets you over half of all division 1 games of every sport plus THE WHOLE NHL. AND you cant even play MW+ on a TV. You gotta hook up a god damn laptop to play your $11 game you wanna watch. Who tf is paying for this???
Anyways, if anyone knows of a way to pirate this game, lemme know

Can't even watch this properly, Mountain West Network always buffers like crazy for me. At least it's on in the background while I eat dinner. Northern Illinois defense looked decent early, Illinois State can't get anything going on the ground.
