Stupid roughing the punter penalty gives ISU a first down. Defense has played well.
@salukiworld Looked like he got pushed into him.

Defensive coaching staff deserves a ton of credit for their improvements since the SEMO game. Defense looks day and night from the Northwestern game on
D'Ante Cox has been great tonight. SIU really needed someone to step up with Hartrup out and he's been a great deep threat.
Touchdown for Elliott and another great drive for the SIU offense.

Love this D we're seeing--haven't seen this in years.

SIU heads to the half with a 19-0 lead. Great job by both sides of the ball. Only negative so far has been special teams.
It's not only if the gunner's feet were in the end zone, but also did the ball break the goal line? Either would have been a touchback.

Illinois State gets a touchdown on 4th and long to cut it to 19-7 with 1:32 left in the 2nd
Redbirds going no-huddle and go down for a touchdown. SIU really needs to open up the playbook on offense again, why too conservative this half.

How about finding a tight end on a crossing route?

Are we going to mess around and give this to ISU?
