SIU gets a solid kick return from Lucien Walker out to the SIU 38. NU reserve running back Stephen Simmons is shaken up on the play and hobbles off the field.
SIU converts its first third-down opportunity, as QB Chris Dieker eludes pressure and throws for the first down out to almost midfield. Dieker hits Marc Cheatham on a screen for another first down at the NU 39.
Big play for DT Corbin Bryant, dragging RB Larry Warner down for a 3-yard loss on first down. After SIU is stopped on third down, SIU acts like its going for a 51-yard field goal but takes a delay of game penalty and then punts into the NU end zone.
Analysis: The NU defense again does what its been doing a lot this season: bending but not breaking, which is better than what they've been doing in recent years -- bending and breaking.
