Offense looked more hopeful to me (at least the first week, I didn't see the game on the Big 10 network), but I don't know what ISUr looks like this year. Not expecting a win, but would at least hope we look more on the ball.

 
The one that went away during Covid and never came back. It might have been corny, but they did introduce players as well so you had an idea who you were watching on the field.

I agree the lack day to day beat writing on WIU Football is frustrating.  The www.prairiestatepigskin.com site does a nice job following all the FCS teams and I think the weekly OVC coaches media sessions are better than the MVFC ones. Interesting video w/Coach responding to IU game...

Yeah, that was bad. We're currently #112 in the Massey ratings (https://masseyratings.com/cf2024/fcs/ratings) out of 129 teams. Northwestern State is down 18 spots to #121 after that game. Most of the teams below us are SWAC, NEC, or Pioneer conference teams.

Obviously at this point the complete dismantling by Indiana looks a bit better, but I also noticed this today...
