Leatherneck NFL Update | Tailgating Procedures Change at WIU

Leatherneck NFL Update

Three former Western Illinois Leathernecks were a part of the National Football League’s Sunday Night Football game on September 20 as the New York Giants defeated the Dallas Cowboys 33-31.

Rich Seubert (1997-2000) started at left guard for the New York Giants’ offense, Jason Williams (2005-08) was not active due to a high ankle sprain, but is a member of the active roster and Rodney Harrison (1991-93) had his first regular-season game as an analyst for the NBC show Football Night in America. Western Illinois was the only FCS team with players listed on the active roster for both the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants.
