Every coach we have had in the last 10-15 years has said the same thing. The key to winning on a consistent basis is having a reliable running game. We just never seem to get there. The highlight of the game for me was probably the "Tarps Off" show put on by the I assume opposing fanbase.

Embrace the pace of the race.
Wasn't expecting a win, but was expecting a more competitive game. The attendance was disappointing, but weather probably hindered some people from attending. Unfortunately, last night's performance won't encourage people to come out and watch them play.wiu712 wrote: Sat Sep 05, 2026 10:56 pm Illinois State won 41-10
