NORMAL — An Illinois State secondary that produced three turnovers in last week’s loss to North Dakota State will get plenty of opportunities to add to that total Saturday.
A pass-happy Western Illinois team visits Hancock Stadium for an 11 a.m. Missouri Valley Football Conference game.
The Redbirds are 0-3 with all three defeats coming by 10 points or less. Also 0-3, Western has lost to Missouri State (30-24), South Dakota State (45-10) and North Dakota (38-21).
“We’re playing a very good football team. People who do not know much about the Missouri Valley Football Conference could look at their record and be deceived.
