Mid-States Football Rivalry
Olivet Nazarene Tigers vs St. Francis Fighting Saints is the kind of college football matchup that splits living rooms and group chats. Whenever these two meet, the records get thrown out and the only thing that matters is who walks away with the bragging rights.
Both programs call the Mid-States Football home, so this isn't just pride on the line — it's conference standing, head-to-head tiebreakers, and a direct say in who plays for a title. As in-state IL rivals, the recruiting battles run year-round, long before kickoff. When the Tigers face the Fighting Saints, the debate is never settled for long — last year's result just sets up next year's argument.
