or the hog trough bowl - lot of slop in that game by two mediocre teams. Eleven penalties by SIU for 100+ yards - pretty sad for the 5th game of the season..
Anyone who thought the Indiana State game would be a pushover? They lost in OT tonight at #3 S. Dakota State in OT 54 - 51. Little better play calling in OT and that game would still be going on. ISU had 569 yards offense - more than SDSU. Only 5 penalties.
What a freaking joke. Remind me why we bothered getting rid of Lennon.
Nearly 110 yards in penalties. That's a sign of a very poorly coached team.
Lennon started the demise of the program

Agree, except, we're not even mediocre at this point.
March on triumphantly!
Think of it this way: dumb penalties have cost us wins against Southeast and at Youngstown. If we play clean in those games, especially in the key moments, we are 3-2 and the tone of this conversation is completely different. Penalties have hurt us more than anything else this year.
I was really really hoping that Nick Hill was going to be the guy to get The Dawgs back to respectability, but after yesterday's game, I have lost the faith in this coaching staff. SIU lost to a bad team yesterday and if the next best passing QB that we have on this roster is Matt DeSomer…...oh boy..... Matt's been a great athlete for Saluki football and can run some wildcat, but don't make that kid throw the football.
The penalties really hurt. Against SEMO we had 9 penalties for 100 yards, but SEMO had 16 penalties for 165 yards. They had an RB rush for over 300 yards!! Has SIU ever given up that kind of yardage to a RB??
Our defense was crap (their D was also crap) and we never adjusted after their RB had 180 yards in the 1st quarter. That's seems like poor coaching.
