Sagarin says 81% chance of a WIU win, with a predicted score of 30-10
Last weekend's game is definately one we should have won, but a couple of mistakes caused it to slip away. We need to clean those up and reduce the number of sacks allowed and we should be able to come away with a solid win. According to Massey Ratings, this game gives us our best chance of a victory for the rest of the season.

9 one score games in 2.5 years...crazy. Davis has gotten WIU back to being competitive but have to take another step & come out on the W side of these.
Saw LB Lee Russell being inducted into WIU HOF tomorrow at the game. He played during my years at WIU. One bad dude on the football field.

His redshirt freshman year (2000) was he, Hartwell and Junior Robinson at LB's. He was undersized, especially compared to those guys, but was an absolute stud. Great 4 year career and one of the many LB greats. Back when we used to get Power 5 LB transfers, it was nice having a home grown stud. He also teamed up with Cornell Middlebrook and Jason McWilliams (not to be confused with Jason Williams) for 2 solid years of LB's. Last year with Phil Archer.
I like our backers this year a lot. Reinicke was a huge get from ISU. We've had some athletic ones recently, but finally got some dudes with some mass and be effective stopping the run.
