TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Redbirds made it interesting late, but Indiana State held on for a very impressive 34-31 upset of No. 9 Illinois State at an unseasonably warm September day at Memorial Stadium, snapping a five-game skid dating back to 2010.
The Sycamores (3-1, 1-0 MVFC) jumped out to a strong 24-7 lead by the 7:15 mark of the third quarter, but the Redbirds (2-2, 0-1 MVFC) clawed their way back behind starting QB Jake Kolbe, who threw for 258 yards and three touchdowns after not taking a snap in the first half.
