Does anyone know how many times WIU has played against a number one team since becoming a Division l program? How many number one teams has come to Hanson Field? What is WIU record against number ones overall and at Hanson Field?

Found my own questions.
WIU has a Homecoming record of 49-26-5. Last Homecoming win was back in 2011 in that amazing come from behind win against Southern Illinois (27-21).
WIU has played against 6 number one teams. 3 of those teams were played at Hanson Field.
WIU is 1-5 versus number ones. Lone victory was at home against Youngstown St. back in 1998 (14-0).

In that same year of 1998 when Western knocked off #1 Youngstown State at Hanson Field 14-0 on October 3, Western beat #2 Florida A&M at Hanson Field 24-21 on December 5. That was a 2nd-round 1-AA Playoff game.
The last time that a #1 team played at Hanson Field was on October 20, 2007. Northern Iowa came to town and won the game 42-3.
