The Redbirds will bring an eight-game road winning streak against FCS opponents to Villanova Stadium in Philadelphia against a Wildcat team that’s won an FCS-record 23 consecutive home games.

The Redbirds' improbable win over NDSU, two months after ISU lost to the Bison in Normal, lifted ISU into the FCS quarterfinals for a postseason rematch with UC-Davis at 4 p.m. Saturday.

The Redbirds received at at-large bid to the 24-team field and will play at No. 16 seed Southeastern Louisiana at noon, Saturday, Nov. 29, in Hammond, Louisiana.

Illinois State University has officially renamed its football field at Hancock Stadium in honor of former Board of Trustees member and alumnus Jay Bergman and his late wife Lori.

In 16 seasons, Brock Spack has compiled a 111-74 [60%] record and has led the Redbirds to six NCAA playoff appearances and two Missouri Valley Football Conference championships.

The Illinois State University football team has secured its first FCS postseason bid since 2019. The Redbirds will play Saturday at Southeast Missouri State.

Brock Spack saw potential at Illinois State University. Fifteen years and 100 wins later, he’s seen it play out. No. 100 came Saturday for the winningest coach in school history, lifting Spack’s career record to 100-69.
