Salukis look to lean on run game and play action
SIU coach Dale Lennon says Paul McIntosh, Kory Faulkner and AJ Hill will form a run-focused trio in spring drills. McIntosh, backup to Chris Dicker in 2010, posted 53 carries for 223 yards and 3 TDs while completing 15 of 30 passes for 231 yards and 3 TDs with 2 interceptions. Faulkner, 6-4, 210, is the No. 2 entering spring after two games with 9.8 yard per carry. Hill, a lefty transfer from NIU, moved from fullback to quarterback in Du Quoin. The Salukis expect more play-action balanced by solid run games with five returners on the line and multiple tailbacks.
