Upset brewing? #12 Northern Iowa

[IdaGriz01]

Unranked Western Illinois just intercepted a pass in UNI territory. They lead 24-19 with less than 2 min left. Burning clock and UNI timeouts.

That's a wrap. Another ranked team loses to an unranked opponent.

Interesting week in college football.

That can't be possible. Only the GRIZ lose to unranked mediocre opponents.

Will UNI drop out of the top 25 with a 2-4 record? Also, what was up with Western's playcalling there at the end? It worked out but I almost wanted UNI to pull off a hailmary for that stupidity/arrogance. WIU got down into the redzone, moving the ball pretty efficiently, and then with over 2 mins. left goes into victory formation for first three downs and then on fourth lobs the ball to the back of the endzone. They have a beast of a RB but even if they didn't want to risk injury/mistake, why not take the chip-shot FG to go up 8 and still probably run the clock out or only leave a couple seconds left like what happened after the failed pass. Instead, UNI got the ball after the turnover, down only 5.
