TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — When Southern Illinois and Indiana State collided in Carbondale a year ago, the two teams combined for an incredible 752 rushing yards. The Salukis had a 430-322 rushing advantage and averaged a mind-boggling 11.6 yards per carry.


Don’t expect a repeat performance tonight when the teams square off at Memorial Stadium. Both teams rank in the bottom half of the Missouri Valley Football Conference in rushing yardage. The Salukis (4-5, 2-3) average 143 yards per contest, while the Sycamores (2-7, 0-5) generate just 119.


What are the keys to tonight's game? Here's a closer look at today’s Saluki Football opponent.
