Figured we needed a pre-gameday thread for this one. Illinois St comes in at 5-1 (2-1) with their only loss being a head scratcher to Missouri St. They have a dominating win over FBS Colorado St (who aren't that bad - they're 3-4 overall and 2-1 in the Mountain West) under their belt as well.

Some injury updates for the Bison from Klieman's press conference this afternoon: both Bruce Anderson and Robbie Grimsley sustained hamstring injuries that "weren't as severe as originally expected" (source: Jeff Culhane's twitter) so Klieman says both may play against the Redbirds. He also said Seth Wilson is "not available" and that Tanner Volson and Caleb Butler should be good to go this week.

Another big one in the Fargodome this week! Since we're fans we can look ahead and if the Bison can win this one 11-0 becomes pretty likely.
