I don’t care who you are playing that is down right special to score that many points and only allow 3? Wow! 😮
Indiana 77 W Illinois 3?!?!
- Thread starter JerseyCityHawki
- Start date
Yeah, their coach is an ego-maniac. I figured he will run it up whenever he can.
Impressive nonetheless

I thought they said W Illinois has lost 20 something games in a row
Yeah Western Illinois is 1980s Prairie View A&M bad............
NIL and transfer rules have not done fcs schools any favors. Maybe the roster limits will help.
It’s crazy because Western Illinois used to be a very competitive and good team.
WIU gave up more than 700 yards to both Northern Illinois and Indiana. They were picked to finish dead last in the Ohio Valley Conference. Hoosiers travel to UCLA next week, and then finish non-conference play at home against Charlotte. Could be 4-0 heading to Maryland.
Where are you coming up with roster limits? They're adding 20 more scholarships from 85 to 105
Most well-funded schools have 85 players on scholarship and the ability to have another 50 or so on NIL deals, making it possible to have 135 or so compensated players. The future is just 105 compensated players per program per year, if a program chooses to compensate all 105, of course.
Sounds like it's time for Western to drop down a division or two, or just give up football . . . which they kinda already have.
BTW: On Oct. 28, 1950 at Columbus, Ohio, this was the final score:
Ohio State -- 83
Iowa -- 21
And merely two years later, Oct. 25, 1952, under first-year coach Forest Evashevski, Iowa stunned the football world with this result in Iowa City:
Iowa -- 8
Ohio State -- 0
There may never have been a more startling reversal than that. Maybe coaching matters.

WIU has become the doormat of UNI’s conference with the addition of the Dakota schools. Kind of like the IU of the big 10.
They may be a doormat now but keep the faith, they're only one Bobby Boucher away from the Bourbon Bowl.
