What Time Is Illinois State vs. Northern Illinois and How Can I Watch?
7 p.m. ET, streaming on the Mountain West Network. Northern Illinois moved to the Mountain West, which is why a game in DeKalb appears on that platform.
An In State Test the Huskies Should Not Take Lightly
Illinois State comes in 2-0 from the Missouri Valley, one of the strongest FCS conferences in the country. This is not a routine guarantee game.
Northern Illinois is 0-1 and has a recent history of beating ranked FBS teams on the road, which cuts both ways. A loss to an in state FCS program at home would be a serious setback.
The Bottom Line
7 p.m. ET Saturday on the Mountain West Network. Closer than most FCS visits, with a strong Missouri Valley team in town.
