Good MVFC battle between two top 7 teams. Illinois State has a big loss to Iowa, a blowout over Captain Morgan State, and a narrow win @ EIU
UNI has been more impressive, with wins over EWU and Cal Poly.

ISU's defense came to play, Perkins was everywhere. Shut down the UNI passing attack. Coprich and the OLine were decent too (169 yards 2TDs)
