SIU 33 YSU 0

Good win for the Dawgs this afternoon/evening in Youngstown, Ohio.

The defense was stifling as it shutout the Penguins for the first time in the history of the series.

More to come when I get back to Carbondale.

It's time to enjoy the "nightlife" that Youngstown has to offer.

I wish Maurice Clarett, Jim Tressel or Jerry Angelo could give me some advice.

Now where's my sweater vest?

Salukis win 33-0 at Youngstown [Daily Egyptian]

SIU leads Youngstown State 17-0 at the half

The SIU football team leads Youngstown State 17-0 at halftime.

The Salukis struck first with a quick three-play 67-yard drive which culminated in a 24-yard touchdown pass from starting quarterback Chris Dieker to back-up quarterback/wide receiver Chris Dieker.

SIU scored its second touchdown with 1:48 remaining in the first quarter when Ryan Patton intercepted Dailyn Campbell pass and returned it 52 yards for a touchdown.

The Penguins have been winning the field-position battle in the second half, but has been able to do nothing with it. YSU has been in scoring position twice, but was unable to put points on the board when kicker Brian Palmer missed a 38-yard field goal attempt and was then was stuffed on a 4th-and-less-than-a-yard rush.

Today I'll be tweeting for the SIU/Youngstown State football game at Stambaugh Stadium in Youngstown, Ohio.

Check out the sidebar on the right side of the page for updates.

It's a beautiful day for football. It's a clear, sunny and crisp autumn day that any football fan can appreciate.

The Salukis (3-2, 2-1) will look to beat the Penguins (2-5, 1-2) in Youngstown for the first time since 2004 - and more importantly - look to keep at least a share of first place in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
