Last year WIU knocked off the UNI Panthers in the pUNI-Dome... which pretty much ended any shot of UNI to make the playoffs. This year the game is in Macomb, IL; not that Hanson Field is a tough place to play atmosphere wise, but these Leathernecks will look to knock off the #1 UNI Panthers once again this year. A Win over UNI could possibly leap the Leathernecks into the Top 10 next week.

I'd rather play UNI after they won than after they lost; so I WANT Them to beat WIU; but I am thinking the Leathernecks will upset the Panthers.. What do you think?

WIU certainly needs the win, especially since they close with YSU and SIU

Gotta play the hot hand for now. UNI should win.

WIU always seems to play UNI tough. Not this year, though!!!

UNI wins!!!

UNI is looking real tough this year, so I doubt WIU gets a win.

Can=yep
Will=nope.

Yawn.

They can but I doubt they will.

Such a smart boy!!

I don't know much about WIU this year but they have played some tough opponents as well and since it's a coin flip situation for me, I will go with them in this one. Nothing to back up my pick though.

I think UNI has a good day with balanced pass/rush offense. WIU wont get enough on the ground and will need more pass and UNI gets one or a few int's.

UNI - 30+

WIU - <20

UNI has one of the best run Ds in the country. WIU hasn't shown much this year in terms of a passing game. I think the Leathernecks are in for a long day.

I think Western will pull off the upset. Hate to say it, but.......

Never mind, UNI bitch slapped Western Illinois!!

Cap'n Cat was there. I was positively embarrassed for Western Illinois. On top of that mauling, they had about 30 high school recruits who witnessed the carnage.

OMFG.

Sanders, 8-8 for 93 yards! When you can run like that, who needs to pass?

UNI IS AMAZING!
