Team of the Week
Illinois State
H.U. is a longtime fan of Redbirds coach Brock Spack, a former News-Gazette All-Stater and the guy Purdue should have hired to replace Joe Tiller. Sean Slattery hit a 33-yard field goal Saturday to give Illinois State a 9-7 win at Northwestern. Jake Kolbe led the Redbirds on an 11-play, 77-yard drive for the winning field goal. The kick gave Slattery a chance to make up for an earlier missed extra point. Illinois State improved to 2-0 and showed the rest of the FCS it is a threat to win the national title.
