TERRE HAUTE, Indiana (WSIL) --Â Southern Illinois kept both its playoff hopes and conference championship ambitions alive with a 47-21 win on a chilly Saturday at Indiana State.
The No. 15-ranked Salukis (7-3, 5-2) blew the game open with a touchdown on the final play of the first half and three unanswered scores in the third quarter, including a pick-six by defensive end .
Southern returns home for its regular-season finale next Saturday against Youngstown State at noon. Not only is it Senior Day at Saluki Stadium, but a potential playoff berth and possible conference title are on the line. SIU trails league-leading North Dakota State by one game in the standings.
