(STATS) -- Western Illinois tends to get overshadowed in the nations strongest FCS conference, but what the Leathernecks could do Saturday would grab a lot of attention, and set a record for the Missouri Valley Football Conference.The nations No. 13-ranked FCS program -- off to a 2-0 start -- will try to end a 15-game losing streak against FBS opponents when it visits Northern Illinois (0-3) in DeKalb. Northern Iowa, Illinois State and North Dakota State have combined to give the Missouri Valley three wins over FBS opponents for the third time. The conference has never had four.Missouri State also has a chance to give the Valley another FBS win Saturday night at Kansas State (1-1). Its less likely, although the improving Bears have surpassed last years win total with a 2-0 start.All six of Western Illinois all-time wins over the FBS -- in 35 games -- have come against Mid-American Conference teams, and four were against Northern Illinois.Sometimes records are deceiving, WIU first-year coach Charlie Fisher said about NIU on his weekly radio show. Theyve got good players. It will be a street fight for us against them. Well have to be ready to play very well.WIU has much more momentum heading into Saturdays matchup, having defeated Eastern Illinois and Northern Arizona, which have both appeared in the Top 25 this season.The Leathernecks havent committed a turnover, with sophomore running back Steve McShane (181 rushing yards per game) and senior wide receiver Lance Lenoir providing balance for a team with the nations third-best average time of possession (35 minutes, 44 seconds). The defense features one of the better linebackers in the FCS in leading tackler Brett Taylor.Northern Illinois holds a 21-17-1 series lead, but its the first time the once-regular rivals are meeting since 2009. Although NIU is coming off a home loss to San Diego State, they have won 35 of their last 38 games at Huskie Stadium.Oshane Ximines Womens Jersey .

But dont expect the Wolverines to make their two-deep available for public consumption any time soon.After Colorado, this weeks opponent for No. 4 Michigan, released a fictional depth chart featuring Elmer Fudd at quarterback and Vito Corleone along the defensive line, among other characters, Harbaugh told a local radio show Thursday he wasnt amused even though he believes sharing depth charts is an antiquated practice.Theres so much written about the team thats on the internet, Harbaugh said on Detroits 97.1 FM Thursday morning. For those of us who can or do watch the games, theyre all on television now as well. We just felt like modern technology was the most accurate way of knowing what the opponents depth chart is by looking at the previous weeks film. Not relying on another PR directors assessment of what the depth chart is.Harbaugh has routinely bucked convention since coming to Michigan. He has kept his teams pecking order at quarterback under wraps in the preseason since returningg to his alma mater two years ago because he said he didnt see any competitive advantage in announcing a starter.ddddddddddddThe mystery of who is playing where has disappeared after two weeks of games, but the coach sees the practice of sharing a depth chart as unnecessary at this point.Colorado decided to poke a little fun at Michigans reluctance to do so by filling its depth chart this week with pop culture references ranging from socialist politicians playing at free safety to deodorant brands starting at Right Guard.Harbaugh did not find this particular PR directors assessment of his teams depth chart very funny.In our preparation for Colorado, weve had a hard time working humor into the preparations, he said in the radio interview. I was trying to imagine how many people sat around and how many hours they worked on that.Colorado visits Michigan for the first time since 1997 on Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff between two teams that have started the season at 2-0.
