No. 3 Salukis win big
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — No. 3 Southern Illinois allowed just 90 yards of total offense in a 33-0 victory over Indiana State for its 12th straight Missouri Valley Football Conference win on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. The Salukis are 7-1 overall and 6-0 in conference play heading into next week's game at No. 9 South Dakota State. The shutout was SIU's first since Oct. 18, 2008, at Youngstown State when the Dawgs won by the same 33-0 score. Redshirt freshman quarterback Paul McIntosh threw for 159 yards and rushed for another 57 with two touchdowns on the ground in his first career start. He completed 15 of 22 passes without an interception against the Sycamores (1-8, 1-5). The Salukis outgained Indiana State by 270 yards and had a pair of interceptions to extend their streak to nine straight games with at least one interception.
