SIU aims to boost its ground game behind McCall Strother and McKinney as SEMO, leading the Ohio Valley Conference with 238 rushing yards per game, visits. SEMO relies on Levi Terrell and Renard Celestin, while SIU brace for a strong Redhawks defense and must win to shake off two straight losses.
SIU coach Dale Lennon says no major changes planned for the home opener against SEMO in Carbondale. Tailgating starts at 1 p.m. with about 2,500 season tickets sold and a ready crowd anticipated despite a multi-sport conflict with the Frontier League title series in Marion. The Salukis are 6-5 in their new stadium, after going 2-3 at home last season.
Offense contrasts with SEMO and LIU strengths as Redhawks press LIU’s run defense. Salukis boast a home crowd and a more varied attack while avoiding 100-yard rushers but vulnerable through the air. SEMO survived four turnovers in a win over Mars Hill College last week.
A defensive battle is expected as SIU and Miami Ohio both allow yards but few points. SIU misses Kayon Swanson but returns tonight while Drew Geldbach handles the Redhawks kicking with a strong start this year. Pucylowski and Vucic are notable punters for SIU and SEMO. SIU may edge in returns despite Miami’s kickoff return average exceeding 25 yards.
The roster lists SIU Salukis with Clayton Melville as quarterback and MyCole Pruitt as a target, plus a full slate of linemen and receivers. Notable names include A.J. Hill, Ray Agnew, Jayson DiManche, Eze Obiora, and LaSteven McKinney across offense and defense as the team fields a 3-4 scheme with multiple Jr and Sr players across positions.
Illinois aims to rebound after a 45-14 loss to Arizona State as quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase heals from an ankle sprain. Coach Beckman emphasizes improvement, while Charleston Southern arrives 0-2 coming off losses to Citadel and Jacksonville State.
Michigan State fans recall the 2010 trick play when Aaron Bates floated a 29 yard TD pass to Charlie Gantt to beat Notre Dame, a moment that propelled the Spartans to a 11-2 season and a rise in the AP top 10. Notre Dame visits Spartan Stadium as a ranked collision.
