Salukis look to rebound after disappointing 2010

Last year was a huge disappointment for SIU on the football field.  The Salukis finished 5-6...posting their first losing season since 2002.

As we approach the 2011 there is a level confidence rolling through Carbondale.  Paul McIntosh is named starter after beating out junior QB Kory Faulkner (Ste. Genevieve, MO) and Northern Illinois transfer A.J. Hill (Du Quoin, IL). Hill is the younger brother of former Saluki quarterback Nick Hill.

Salukis open the season Saturday September 3rd at rival SEMO.  The Redhawks pulled of a come-from-behind upset victory last year in Carbondale.  It was only the fourth regular season home loss for SIU since 2003.
