CHARLESTON — Pha'leak Brown's 3-yard touchdown run with 1:54 remaining lifted the Illinois State football team to a 31-24 nonconference victory over Eastern Illinois on Saturday as ISU coach Brock Spack reached a career milestone.
The win was No. 87 in 13 seasons as ISU for Spack, who set the school record for coaching victories.
"It's a great honor to be head football coach here. I love it here and my family has loved it here," Spack said. "You don't do this by yourself. Tip of the cap to the players who have been here, and I've got a great staff.
