Western Illinois (FCS) beats Northern Illinois 28-23 in DeKalb's (N. Illinois hometown) Huskie Stadium to become the 3rd Illinois FCS team to beat a Division 1-A team (Illinois St beat Northwestern 9-7 & Eastern Illinois beat Miami (Ohio) 21-17). Unfortunately, Southern Illinois lost at Florida Atlantic week one 38-30, in what would've completed the state of Illinois collect-em-all FCS upset pack.
Northern Illinois was favored to win by 31 points and gave 15,496 fans a reason to go home sad. Western Illnois was ranked no 13 (STATS FCS Poll) coming into the game.
