It's a pretty solid defensive battle. Looks like ISU has trouble throwing the ball, but their defense is absolutely solid.

At least their QB looks about equal to what I saw out of Sampson. Both seem fairly uncertain in their play.

NIU beats Illinois State, 24-10 in a game that was a lot closer than the score indicated. While trying to make something happen late, ISU throws a pick-6.

And our Week 4 opponent, Tennessee Tech takes down Samford in 2 OT. TTU started strong, but Samford pulled ahead and had a pretty large lead. Samford was up 38-15 near the end of the 3rd quarter...TTU gets a TD near the end, then puts up 22 points in the 4th to tie it up. TDs for each team in the 1st OT, Samford gets one to start the 2nd OT, then TTU gets one and instead of kicking to tie, they go for the 2 point conversion to win and get it.
Final score of 59-58 Tennessee Tech.

Samford was the team that Youngstown State beat in 45-22 in Week 0.

Edit: the below comment is about the NIU vs ISU game.

I listened to this blowhard on the tv going on and on about the attendance at the NIU game (when I could clearly see the opposing side wasn't even half full). Also, I stopped counting after 10 the amount of times this cat alluded too we were watching Big Ten caliber play. Ridiculous.


So this how I see things after week one.

North Dakota State
Northern Iowa
South Dakota State
Indiana State
Youngstown State
Illinois State
South Dakota
Missouri State
Southern Illinois
Western Illinois

Of course this is subject to change from week to week :D :D

This is completely my opinion others can feel free to interject their opinions.
