NORMAL — These Redbirds may be young, but they have found their way back home.
Illinois State returns to Hancock Stadium after three road games and two days shy of a month away Saturday for a 1 p.m. Missouri Valley Football Conference game against 16th-ranked Missouri State.
“Three away games has been brutal,” offensive guard Peter Bussone said. “It’s exciting we finally get to defend our turf at home. I can’t wait for fans to come back for a packed house and show them what we can do.”
Standing room only admission is available as the 2-2 Redbirds face the 2-1 Bears on Family Weekend.
