Illinois State hangs on to beat Indiana State 27-21

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — Zack Annexstad ran for 2 touchdowns and handed for an additional to his brother, Brock, in Illinois State’s 27-21 victory over Indiana State on Saturday.

The Redbirds (5-2, 3-1 Missouri Valley Soccer Convention) took a 20-0 lead within the first quarter on Annexstad’s 9-yard run and his landing passes of 56 yards to Jalen Carr and 18 yards to Brock Annexstad.

However they would want the quarterback’s 3-yard run to cap a drive early within the fourth quarter to provide them a 27-14 lead, sufficient to win regardless of Cade Chambers’ 67-yard landing throw Dante Hendrix with simply over 10 minutes remaining.

The Sycamores (1-6, 0-4) drove from their very own 7-yard line to the Illinois State 26 earlier than Keondre Jackson made an finish zone interception with 4 seconds left.

Zack Annexstad was 24 of 38 for 274 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Wenkers Wright had 36 carries for 180 yards with Carr ending with 99 yards receiving.

Chambers was 14-of-33 passing for 201 yards, two TDs and a choose. Hendrix had 107 yards receiving.
