The game has been moved to a 7 PM kickoff due to the heat.
 

Games from last night:

Stony Brook beat Lindenwood, 36-32
Minnesota beat Eastern Illinois, 59-7
Southern Illinois narrowly beat Samford, 22-18
Morehead State beat NAIA Kentucky Christian, 75-24

Update - fixed the history line in the original post. I realized I'd been looking at the last few games against Indiana State, not Illinois State (they're right next to each other in the record book).
