Salukis face Lamar test after drubbing by Drake
SIUC football fell 38-14 to Drake as defense yielded 365 yards and the offense struggled without John Cernak. Quarterbacks Gerald Carr and Greg Strawan showed inexperience, while receivers were underutilized but Kevin House potential remains untapped. Tom Strigel punted well, and the line earned Drake’s praise for giving fits to the defense.
