With travel plans secured and scheduled, Illinois State will face Florida Atlantic on November 20 at Lockhart Stadium in Ft. Laurderdale, Fla., after the September 25 game was postponed due to the threat of Hurricane Jeanne.
Kickoff for the game will take place at 4 p.m. EST. FAU rescheduled its game against Florida International for Dec. 4, to accommodate the Redbirds on the 2004 slate. This will be the latest regular season game for ISU, since defeating Kentucky State 48-10, on Nov. 21, 1998.
