Whole second half I had a bad feeling. Grace kept going for the bomb and not just doing what they did in the first half. Very disappointing. Props to SIU. They came to play and played well. The defense played well for UNI in the 2nd half but just too lil too late. 1 for 6 when we started at the UNI 40 or better....6 times we started at the 40 or better! and we only get 3 pts out of it.

on the bright side. Karim other than his one run in the 2nd half and his big 48 yd catch to end the first half was really a no factor in the 2nd half. He had a one millimeter TD run to put SIU up 20-13 but really was held at bay in the 2nd half. Good job by the UNI D to adjust.

Great game by the Salukis. They are a very very good team. Pat Grace didn't have his best game, but gotta give credit to the defense of the Salukis.

I certainly don't want to play that team again. Deji Karim was just as advertised. He is an amazing player, and if the Walter Payton is supposed to go to the best player in FCS I have a hard time believing there is a better player.

Congrats. Good luck the rest of the way! (Well kinda I actually hope you lose so we could still win the conference xsmiley_wix)

I will not reply again until you to learn to spell correctly.

Go UNI, I hope Devlin can make a visit to the dome this year.

Good game Dawgs and Panthers.

Karim is more like Mr. Payton than all those QBs that usually get the award. That's just my personal beef with how that award is handled.

Good game by SIU , UNI just keeps shooting itself in the foot, had way to many chances with great field position, made way to many stupid mistakes to win but nothing against SIU they out played UNI and looked closer to a number 2 team then UNI did by far

Just got back from the fabulous UNI-Dome. Tough loss, but give SIU credit....it's tough to come into the Dome and get a win and they did it. Their RB was tough and a very impressive runner.

Good game.

The pisser, from a Saluki point of view, anyway, is that there is is pretty good chance that we'll play again. As I mentioned in another thread, this could be the year both teams win on the road.

Yeah you can't let a punt touch you inside your own 10 yard line. And running a halfback pass on the 10 yard line wasn't the best call, and DP should have just tucked it and gotten as many yards as he could instead of throwing it.

That one stings a little, but gotta give credit to SIU for out playing UNI tonight. Dale Lennon just has Mark Farley's number. It helps he has good players executing his game plans too.

Great game Salukis. A few of the dumbest plays I have seen in awhile by a few Panther players tonight. On a positive for that, I'm sure those decisions will never be made by those players again.

I think the biggest part of the game, other than the two turnovers deep in Panther territory, was the lack of execution by UNI/ great defensive effort by the salukis inside the 10.

These two teams could very easily meet in the second round of the playoffs and it could go either way.

I'm actually not that upset about this game. I still really like this UNI team.

Awesome pic’s from the sideline! I would love to watch a game in the UNI Dome and would pay much money to see it from the sidelines! That wish is on my FCS bucket list. Tough loss UNI, and congrats to SIU. This Griz fan hopes to avoid both UNI and SIU in the playoffs! (If the Griz gets in) If Montana is sent packing to play UNI then I will drive down and it would be awesome to party with the UNI fans (if they will have me). I hope someone would show me what makes UNI special on game day! I was in Missoula for the Griz vs. EWU! EWU is awesome and they have the best running back I have seen in a long time! I hope EWU's appeal to the NCAA is approve so they are allowed to participate in the playoffs. They will do some damage if they get in!

Wow, what a great game.

First win in the Dome since 1983. I am hoping this season ends the same way that one did. :D

Congrats to Southern Illinois. I said it last week, and I'll say it again. This is turning into one GREAT rivalry. I chatted w/a few Southern fans at the Dome. So sorry I won't be able to remember names. Anyway, hope the Saluki fans had or will have a great trip back.

I'm not going to make excuses for the loss. Rather, I'll elect to admit that the Saluki's kicked some Panther ass yesterday. A well deserved win.

xthumbsupx Happens to us all sooner or later. Some of your fans are acting like the lost to Illinois State or something, hell, you may get a rematch this year.

There are two ways to beat an opponent:

1. Dominate them, beat them down and take them apart.
2. Hang tough, don't give up and capitalize on your opponent's mistakes.

SIU went #2, so they deserve respect for a quality win.

Boy, am I glad I was at a wedding and not watching that game! I woulda been a wreck.

#2 kind of implies to me an overmatched opponent playing smart and hanging with a better team. It wasn't like that at all.


Besides, you don't want to enter the playoffs undefeated. At the end of the season it's entirely possible that UNI will look back and think that the loss to SIU was the turning point.

Big Al
October 19th, 2009, 09:18 AM
No, I wouldn't call SIU overmatched at all. However, this series has never been about #1 -- when you've got two well-matched teams like UNI & SIU it isn't about domination, it's about hanging tough and being prepared to capitalize when your opponent trips up. That is how this game always is.

I'll agree that this may be a turning point. They may have gotten kind of soft/sloppy with the success in the second through fifth games.

Hopefully we can clean up some of the mistakes, especially on special teams.

High Five dogs!

I fon't think anyone is going to dominate the Panthers this year. Winning there was enough.

The loss at SIU last year was the turning point on the season. Lets see if it can happen again. I hope the guys are pissed about losing a game at home, where they made some mistakes that should normally be avoided.
