Three-And-Out for Salukis

After Stefan Demos booted the opening kick for a touchback, the Salukis began their first drive of the second half at the 20. Following a holding penalty and a short run of three yards on first down, Coorey Wooton burst through the middle of the offensive line with a stunt move, and yanked Dieker down for a loss of nine. On third down, Dieker fumbled the snap and gained a short yard. On fourth down, the Salukis were forced to punt in the shadow of their own goal posts. 

It's hard enough to stop Coorey Wooton when he's being blocked, but it's unfair when he gets a free shot at the quarterback, untouched. The 6-foot-7 Wooton engulfed Dieker for the stop. 

Great start for the defense. Let's see if the adjustments Mike Hankwitz makes slow down the SIU offense.
