Pretty good news for ISU. Our bye week was originally scheduled to be week 2. Now it will be just before the conference season starts which is more usual.

9/3 Wisconsin
9/10 Valparaiso
9/17 Eastern Illinois

I liked the thought of getting a couple games in before playing a top 25 FBS team, but you're probably right that this is better overall.

I think this actually works in our favor. Now you have

9/10 VS- VALPO
9/17 VS- EIU
9/24 - BYE
10/1 VS. SIU

that's 3 home games in a row the Birds can get some home cooking and off to a good start this way and maybe get some confidence going into the conference season.
