TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WAND) - Last season they built the foundation, now it is time for Eastern Illinois Football to take some steps forward.
Tomorrow, year two of the Chris Wilkerson era kicks off. The Panthers will start their season on the road against Indiana State.
In their first season under Wilkerson, the Panthers had a 2-9 record. Although that might look lackluster, almost half of EIU's games in 2022 were one-score games.
But with a year into the new regime, Coach Wilkerson said his players finally feel like this team is theirs.
This will be the 88th matchup between EIU and Indiana State. The Panthers lead the all-time series 43-40-4.
Kickoff on Thursday is set for 5 p.m.
