RECORDSOVERTIME RESULTSPK Taylor Rowan connected on five field goalswhile lifting Western Illinois to a 4OT 29-26 victoryagainst South Dakota State in 2007.The tiebreaker works as follows:1) In an overtime, one end of the field is usedand each team gets an offensive seriesbeginning at the 25-yard line.2) Each team retains the ball during a seriesuntil it scores or fails to make a first down. Apossession ends on an interception, fumbleor unsuccessful field goal try.3) Teams are awarded one time-out per extraperiod. Time-outs not used during regulationmay not be carried over into the overtime.Unused extra-period time-outs may not becarried over to other extra periods.4) The team scoring the greater number ofpoints after the completion of both possessionsis the winner. A team may score ondefense.5) If, after both possessions, there is no scoreor the score is tied, there will be subsequentovertime periods until a winner can bedeclared.6) Beginning with the third extra period, teamsscoring a touchdown must attempt a twopointtry. A one-point try, although not illegal,will not score a point.7) The final score will be the total of all pointsscored by each team in regulation andovertime periods.The 1994 season marked the first yearthe conference had utilized the NCAA FCStiebreaker format to decide the outcome ofconference games tied at the end of regulation.That year, Western Illinois used twoovertime “periods” to defeat Missouri State,31-24, in the first-ever league game decidedvia the overtime.Prior to the 1996 season, only FCSconferences utilized the tiebreaker system,but the NCAA FCS tiebreaker format wasadopted for all NCAA games for the start ofthat 1996 season. In the seasons the leaguehas used the tiebreaker, there have been23 league games and 22 non-conferencegames decided in extra periods (since 1994).Three league teams (UNI-2005) (IndianaState-2002 and 2004) have won two overtimegames in the same season.Three overtime games in 2002 took placeon the same day (Sept. 28, 2002). IndianaState edged Murray State, Eastern Michigandefeated Southern Illinois, and UNI usedthree OT periods to beat Cal Poly.The longest overtime game in league historytook place on Aug. 30, 2007, as WesternIllinois defeated South Dakota State, 29-26,in four overtimes.The diagram below charts ties in conferencehistory.Team Record Last OT resultIllinois State 5-6 lost, vs. UNI, 2011Indiana State 7-5 won, vs. Missouri St., 2010Missouri State 1-10 lost, vs. SDSU, 2011N.
