ISU Beats EIU 35-7 in 110th meeting
NORMAL, Ill. – Turnovers were a key story line on Saturday night as Illinois State converted two interceptions into touchdowns to beat Eastern Illinois 35-7 in the 110th playing of the Mid-America Classic.
EIU fell to 0-3 on the season. ISU improved to 2-1.
After both teams traded touchdowns in the first quarter, Illinois State was able to cash in on its turnovers gained with five total turnovers resulting in 21 points.
Jeff Bowens had a 40-yard interception return for touchdown with 1:09 left in the first half to give the Redbirds a 21-7 lead at the half.
Deandre Lamont picked off a tipped pass on EIU's opening drive of the second half and returned it three yards for a touchdown.
Illinois State would add its fifth touchdown of the game midway through the third quarter after a fumble recovery by Matthew Wedig inside the EIU ten-yard line. Zack Annexstad rushed in from the two-yard line with 5:58 to play in the third.
ISU opened the first quarter with a long drive taking a 7-0 lead on a J'Kalon Carter 17-yard touchdown reception from Annexstad. EIU would answer with a touchdown drive of its own with Jonah O'Brien hitting DeWayne Cooks Jr on an 11-yard strike with 3:04 to play in the first quarter.
Elijawah Tolbert would put a stop to the next ISU drive with an interception at the 18-yard line. Tolbert finished with seven tackles for EIU. Jordan Vincent led EIU with eight tackles.
Zach Weir would take over in the third quarter at quarterback. Dom Shoffner would see time under center in the fourth. EIU's offense was held to 167 total yards in the game as they were held to 40 yards rushing. A factor in the rushing total was four sacks by ISU's defense and seven fumbles by EIU's offense.
Shoffner was able to move the Panthers offense late in the fourth quarter rushing for 39 yards as EIU drove 68 yards on its final drive.
Annexstad passed for 212 yards. Carter was his top target with four catches for 56 yards.
