Ugly game for both teams. NIU has generally moved the ball a little bit, but we cannot move the ball.

A nice crowd from ISU. Wish I could be there but it is a long, long drive from SE Virginia!

Love that move by Spack. Double ice the kicker and he misses. The NIU crowd going nuts put added pressure on the kicker. Great coaching move

Birds should have had a touchdown. Nice field goal though.

this game seems winnable if Davis can live up to the preseason hype

The Redbirds can play with them but missed opportunities have hurt them. Mostly in the passing game. The receiver was so wide open in the end zone and Brady just flat out missed him. Maybe a slick ball but they have to make those plays. Third down ISU is 0-8. 19 yards rushing. 58 passing. That is not going to get them a "W".

This game sure does seem to be there for the taking. Whichever QB steps up in the 2H will lead their team to the W. Their's looks like the likeliest to do it.
