Illinois State took the lead with 30 seconds left in the first half on Tommy Rittenhouse’s six-yard touchdown run and never looked back in its 21-13 win at then-No. 21 South Dakota last week. Rittenhouse also threw for 141 yards and two scores, both to Scotty Presson Jr. The Redbirds bounced back from a loss at home to then-No. 25 Youngstown State the previous week to improve to 2-2 in the MVFC.
Northern Iowa fell behind 24-0 at then-No. 18 Southern Illinois en route to a 31-17 loss that dropped the Panthers to 0-4 in conference play. Jaxon Dailey threw a pair of touchdown passes in the second half after taking over from Matthew Schecklman, who was just 5-of-10 for 34 yards and an interception while rushing for 51 yards on nine carries. JC Roque Jr. and Briggs Hughston had the scoring receptions in the loss.
Northern Iowa leads the all-time series 24-16, but Illinois State has claimed three of the last four meetings, including a 31-9 road victory on Nov. 9.
