Colby DantHOST
[laughs]
CJ SullivanGUEST
Ill- Illinois State's-
Colby DantHOST
The FCS team's favored by three and a half
CJ SullivanGUEST
They're gonna fuck North- Northern Illinois should be in the FCS, and they beat Notre Dame two years ago.
CJ SullivanGUEST
I know.
Colby DantHOST
Illinois State lost in overtime in the FCS National Championship last year.
Colby DantHOST
I was there.
Colby DantHOST
Um-
Matt PerkinsHOST
Yeah, according to our friends over at Randall Badgers, they're a 31.5-point favorite.
Matt PerkinsHOST
So I would hope that they cover here, especially considering they just lost by 31 to Illinois State last week.
Matt PerkinsHOST
And don't get me wrong, Illinois State's a very strong FCS program, was in the national title game last year, but they're still an FCS team.
Matt PerkinsHOST
And we
Matt BernsteinHOST
are much better across the board.
Ryan AbrahamHOST
Mm-hmm.
David WoodsHOST
And then they lost to Illinois State last week 41 to 10.
David WoodsHOST
I'm just gonna take Wisconsin.
Ryan AbrahamHOST
Really?
David WoodsHOST
They'll beat the hell out of this random ass team.
Ryan AbrahamHOST
Uh, so what did, what did Wester- Western Illinois do? They-
David WoodsHOST
They lost to Illinois State, which is another FCS school, 41 to 10 last week at home.
Ryan AbrahamHOST
Oh, God.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
We do have some, uh, F- BS FCS matchups that we're going to highlight here, and this is the first one.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
It's Illinois State and Northern Iowa.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
The Illinois State Redbirds, number four in the FCS.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
It's got Husky Stadium in Dekalb, Illinois.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
The, uh, uh, Redbirds under Brock Spack, they had a 76 to nothing win over St. Francis, and then rolled past Western Illinois 41 to 10.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
So that means...
Nathan McCrearyHOST
By the way, that's Teran Dickens over there at quarterback [laughs] for the Huskies.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
Uh, Illinois State's favored in this one, Coach Jackson.
Brad PowersHOST
Tennessee minus 12 and a half.
Brad PowersHOST
FCS, Illinois State minus four and a half.
Brad PowersHOST
Central Connecticut State plus 35 and a half.
Brad PowersHOST
The Syracuse game, I bet the over – I bet Syracuse, but they had a plus sign next to their name.
Joey KanishHOST
after it there.
Brad PowersHOST
The other ones, I lean Central Connecticut State plus 35 and a half.
Brad PowersHOST
I didn't touch the Illinois State game.
Brad PowersHOST
Did you do anything? No, I
Ryan HaringsHOST
They have got 14 tackles for loss through two games a season, five sacks.
Ryan HaringsHOST
Even last week when they kind of got blown out, they had seven TFLs and three sacks against Illinois State.
Ryan HaringsHOST
So they have disruption.
Ryan HaringsHOST
They've been able to get into the backfield, create some havoc, but they get run on.
Ryan HaringsHOST
They don't have the size or the depth to hold up.
Ryan HaringsHOST
So last week against Illinois State, they gave up 239 rushing yards, 5.1 yards per carry against Illinois State.
Ryan HaringsHOST
This is absolutely a get-right game for Abusama, this offense line, Darion Dupree.
Ryan HaringsHOST
Western Illinois can't stop a running game.
Chris BolinHOST
I'm going to reward Tarleton for the win there over the FBS program, although South Dakota State playing Northwestern is a much tougher opponent than Bowling Green.
Chris BolinHOST
Most people, I would say, have UC Davis and Illinois State in some order, five and six.
Chris BolinHOST
I have Illinois State five.
Chris BolinHOST
You have UC Davis five.
Chris BolinHOST
And then after that, there's I'd say a little more question.
Tim MurrayHOST
Hoo, buddy, that is a bad-looking team right there.
Tim MurrayHOST
They are underdogs, by the way, to FCS Illinois State this week.
Tim MurrayHOST
Iowa's offense looked pretty sharp, ran the ball very well.
Tim MurrayHOST
Their starting running back ran for $1.83. We know the history of this rivalry, Matt, tends to lean under.
