I saw that EIU's leading tackler is sitting out the rest of the season and going to redshirt. I'm assuming he will be transferring, either to like a MAC type school or possibly a P5(4) school.ST_Lawson wrote: Sat Sep 28, 2024 10:24 pm Big South-OVC Games

I know Illinois St has been hit with injuries but I was kinda surprised at that score, thought it would be competitive.
I saw in the replies on twitter to WIU tweeting their win, there were a handful of Hooiser fans who were congratulating WIU on their win.
EIU was up 17-0 at halftime, but like our game against them last year, they put up big numbers in the second half to come back and win.meganeck wrote:I saw that EIU's leading tackler is sitting out the rest of the season and going to redshirt.

ILSU was also competitive in the first half, down only 14-7 at the half, but NDSU put up 21 points in the 3rd quarter to pull away. I watched the first half of that game and was really surprised to see the score at the end. Thought it would have been a lot closer.
