I would pick UNI to win this if it was on a neutral field, but it's not. The Panthers are away from their dome & Illinois State has been really good at home, so I think they'll get the job done. The Redbirds can't make the special teams mistakes they did in Cedar Falls, though.
Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:
2014 Division I FCS Playoff Second Round
#10 UNI at #7 Illinois State
Site: Normal, Ill.
Venue: Hanckock Stadium
Date: Dec. 6, 2014
Time: 1 p.m. CT
TV: ESPN3
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
Sorry, D. I don't do that anymore. I've found out the hard way that no mater how much of a lead pipe cinch my proposition is, the minute I put $$ on it, it flips on me. Had I put $$ on my Cowboys the year they FINALLY beat the Steelers in the Super Bowl, the Steelers would have beaten us for the third freaking time.
No thanks....

Not interested in money. I collect welfare, make a ton under the table, sell drugs to children and have Obamacare. Thanks to folks like Tman and Cornhole Hogan, I'm set.
