Same sentiment here. Western Illinois should be our first really tough home game of the year. Definitely looking forward to it.

Respectable team. Should be a good game.

From last week - QB & WR are dynamic duo for Western Illinois

His stats are crazy. Big plays running the ball too.
This is a bad look ahead spot with UNI next week and the SD schools not too far off. YSU we know was tough. Good offense and need to get to QB to disrupt their offense.
JJ brought up on Insiders yesterday they are weak versus the pass. We need Easton to be dialed in, and expect RJ and Shep to light it up.
At first I thought the Western Illinois game might be an early preview of what the South Dakota showdown would look like, especially when the Leathernecks were on offense. WIU’s QB, Sean McGuire, is listed at 6’ 3” 228, similar in size to the Coyote QB Streveler. But in 6 games, McGuire only has 29 carries for 96 yards. I assume that is skewed by QB sacks, (37 net yards) but it does not read like McGuire is the running threat that Mays of YSU was, or Streveler is.
McGuire is nowhere near the runner that Streveler is and, this year at least, not in the same league as a passer either. Streveler is the front runner for the Walter Payton award right now with the way he's playing. McGuire might be the 2nd best pure passer in the MVFC though.
are we even worried??
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
