MACOMB, Ill. – In a game filled with incredible luck and spectacular plays, the Sycamores fell one lucky break short of an upset of No. 13 Western Illinois, falling 36-35 in a heartbreaker at Hanson Field on Saturday afternoon.

Indiana State (3-3, 1-2 MVFC) and Western (4-1, 1-1 MVFC) slugged it out in a back-and-forth duel of amazing football, but it all came down to 4th-and-1 on the Western 29-yard line with less than a minute to play.

Down 36-35 and on the outskirts of field goal range, the Sycamores lined up on fourth down for what appeared to be a QB sneak.
