ESPN RECAPKolbe, Illinois St. hold off Southern Illinois, 31-28
NORMAL, Ill. -- Jake Kolbe threw three touchdown passes, James Robinson ran for 122 yards and a score and Illinois State held on to beat Southern Illinois 31-28 on Saturday night. Sean Slattery kicked a career-long-tying 50-yard field goal with 12:45 to play. Kolbe hit Christian Gibbs for a 51-yard score and connected with Anthony Warrum for a 38-yard TD in the third quarter and Illinois State (3-4, 1/3 Missouri Valley) took a 28-21 lead into the fourth. Slattery's kick made it a 10-point game and each team had three three-and-outs before Southern Illinois (2-4, 0-3) used a nine-play, 80-yard touchdown drive -- capped by Josh Straughan 's 35-yard pass to Darrell James -- to make it 31-28 with 1:19 left. Illinois State recovered an onside kick and bled the final 77 seconds off the clock.
