Saluki football saved by Kill Sambursky pairing at SIU
Joel Sambursky arrived at Southern Illinois University in 2001 as an early recruit for Jerry Kill. The pairing, amid a crumbling program, helped SIU rise from ridicule to three playoff appearances and a No. 1 national ranking. Sambursky recalls tough recruiting, a pivotal visit, redshirt year, and the Western Illinois victory that marked a turnaround.
