The Indiana State Head CoachIndiana State is led by head coach Trent Miles, a 1987 ISU graduate and Terre Haute native. Miles made his head coaching debut last season against Eastern Michigan and carries a record of 1-19 into Saturday’s game. Miles previously spent three seasons (2005-07) as the running backs coach at Washington and three years at Notre Dame (2002-04) as the wide receivers coach. Miles is 0-1 against the Salukis and 1-12 against members of the Missouri Valley Football Conference after last week’s 17-14 victory over Western Illinois.

The Southern Illinois Head CoachThe Southern Illinois head coach is Dale Lennon, who is in his second season with the Saluki program. Lennon is 15-4 at the helm and is 117-37 in 13 seasons as a head coach. He is 1-0 against Indiana State.

Scouting Southern IllinoisSouthern Illinois is a member of the NCAA FCS Subdivision and competes in the MVFC. The Salukis are 6-1 on the season, including a perfect mark of 5-0 in the MVFC. The Salukis are ranked No. 3 in the nation this week by The Sports Network. SIU is led by tailback Deki Karim, who has already eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the season and leads the country with an average of 146.4 rushing yards per game.

A Little HistoryThis marks the 105th season of football at Indiana State, dating back to 1896. The University did not field teams from 1899 to 1900, 1908 or from 1910 to 1919. ISU owns an all-time record of 339-462-22 and is competing for the 24th consecutive season as a member of the MVFC.

What’s TranspiredIndiana State opened the season with a 26-20 overtime loss against Quincy at Memorial Stadium. The game drew regional attention, as 7,216 fans were in attendance. The Sycamores bounced out to a quick 17-0 lead in the first quarter against the Hawks - ISU’s largest lead over an opponent since 2004 -- but Quincy came back to knot the score at 20 with 43 seconds left in regulation. Darrius Gates paced the Sycamores with 102 yards on the ground and also threw a 75-yard touchdown pass as the offense showed spark early in the game.

ISU enjoyed its closest game against a member of the NCAA Division I FBS Subdivision since 2003 with a 30-10 loss at Louisville. Santino Davis recorded a pair of interceptions in falling to the BIG EAST opponent.

The Sycamores were shut out in their third contest of the season against Eastern Illinois by a 31-0 count. It marked the first time ISU was shut out by the Panthers since 1962 and their 95 yards of total offense was the Sycamores’ lowest total since the 2003 campaign.

Indiana State battled tough at No. 18 South Dakota State in the first half, but it wasn’t enough, as the Jackrabbits took it to the Sycamores late in the second quarter en route to a 41-0 win over ISU. ISU trailed just 3-0 in the waning moments of the first half, but a blocked punt and a touchdown with less than a minute remaining helped SDSU to the game’s momentum and the eventual victory. Senior Donye McCleskey recorded a season-best 15 tackles in defeat, plus his first interception of the season. ISU was shutout in back-to-back games for the first time since the 1999 season.

The Sycamores were shutout for the third consecutive game, falling 28-0 to Youngstown State. The Penguins owned just a 7-0 lead in the fourth quarter as the Sycamores held YSU without a score for nine consecutive possessions and did not allow a first down to Youngstown in third stanza. Indiana State went over the 100-yard mark in total offense, but were not able to reach pay dirt, falling to 0-2 in league play.

Indiana State defensive tackle turned fullback Rod Hardy got the Sycamores on the board in the third quarter of the Northern Iowa contest to break a 17-quarter streak without scoring a touchdown. The Sycamores fell to No. 3 nationally-ranked Panthers on Oct. 3 by the score of 62-7.

ISU put on its best offensive performance of the season on the road against Illinois State as it scored a season-high 21 points versus the Redbirds, but the Sycamores fell 38-21. Ryan Roberts found the end zone twice for Indiana State and the Sycamores rolled up 354 yards of total offense, including a 37-yard scoring pass from Roberts to Bryant Kent in the final two minutes of the game. Antoine Brown recorded 102 yards on the ground to become just the Sycamores’ second rusher to top the century mark this season.

Indiana State then ended the nation’s longest losing streak with a 17-14 victory over Western Illinois.

2009 Opponents in Bold Italics

ISU had dropped each of its previous 33 games prior to a Homecoming victory against the Fighting Leathernecks. The Sycamores’ last victory prior to Saturday’s was against Missouri State in 2006. ISU improved to a perfect 6-0 all-time against WIU when playing on Homecoming at Memorial Stadium.

Ryan Roberts Named MVFC Offensive Player of the WeekSophomore quarterback Ryan Roberts was named the Missouri Valley Football Conference’s Offensive Player Of The Week following his superb showing in last week’s victory over Western Illinois. Roberts rushed for 160 yards on the day -- the fourth-most in program history for a quarterback -- and recorded a school-record 91-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Additionally, Roberts scored in the final five minutes of the victory from four yards out to secure the win. He was the first Sycamore since Jake Shields in to score multiple touchdowns in consecutive weeks, as he also had a pair of rushing touchdowns at Illinois State on Oct. 17. Below is a list of the top five single-game rushing totals by a quarterback. 207, Julian Reese, INS vs. Illinois St., 11/03/01 170, Sheaton Fox, INS vs. Murray State, 11/21/98 162, Sheraton Fox, INS vs. Missouri State, 11/20/99 160, Ryan Roberts, INS vs. Western Illinois, 10/24/09 140, Sheraton Fox, INS vs. Southern Illinois, 10/24/98

Roberts’ Rules of OrderRyan Roberts had a 160 yards and two touchdowns against Western Illinois. The 160 rushing yards are the fourth-most in program history for an ISU quarterback, behind recordholder Julian Reese (207 in 2001). The 160-yard game is the third-best in the past 10 seasons for an MVFC QB (13 have rushed for 100+ yards since 2000). Here are the eight rushing performances by a league QB since the 2000 campaign. 245, Donte Pimpleton, WKU vs. Illinois St., 11/3/01 207, Julian Reese, INS vs. Illinois State, 11/10/01 160, Ryan Roberts, INS vs. W. Illinois, 10/24/09 152, Matt Rycraft, YSU vs. W. Illinois, 10/11/03 150, Jason Johnson, WKU vs. W. Illinois, 8/30/01 129, Joel Sambursky, SIU vs. E. Michigan, 9/28/02 125, Jeff Ryan, YSU vs. Hofstra, 11/4/000 115, Julian Reese, INS vs. Eastern Illinois, 9/21/02

Trey InterceptionsThe Sycamores recorded three interceptions on Saturday against Western Illinois, including the first in the young careers of Andrew Blackmon and CJ Cook. Senior Donye McCleskey also added in a pick as well, as the Sycamore defense stood tall in the 17-14 victory over Western Illinois. Indiana State had just four interceptions on the season prior to Saturday’s three picks against the Fighting Leathernecks, including the game clincher by Blackmon as time expired.They Don’t Call It A Streak … NowThe Sycamores ended the nation’s longest losing streak with a 17-14 victory over Western Illinois. ISU had dropped each of its previous 33 games prior to its Homecoming victory against the Fighting Leathernecks. The Sycamores last victory prior to Saturday’s was in a Homecoming contest against Missouri State in 2006. ISU improved to a perfect 6-0 all-time against Western Illinois when playing on Homecoming at Memorial Stadium. The 33-game skid was the fourth-longest in college football history behind Prairie View (80 games), Columbia (54) and Northwestern (34) and was the third all-time in FCS football.

An Indiana State Win Over Southern Illinois Would...• Give Indiana State control of a series its once dominated as the Sycamores would lead once again 24-23. ISU won nine consecutive contests against the Salukis from 1994 until 2002. Since 2003, Southern Illinois has taken each of the last six meetings.• Give Indiana State its first victory over a nationally-ranked team since a 39-36 victory over No. 19 Western Illinois in 1999.• Be Indiana State’s best victory over a nationally-ranked team. The Sycamores have never defeated a team ranked higher than 10th in the history of the program.• Give Indiana State consecutive victories for the first time since winning four in a row in 2004 (Eastern Illinois, Murray State and UT-Martin) and give ISU its first consecutive league wins for the first time since beating Northern Iowa and Southern Illinois in back-to-back weeks in 2002.

We Are Mostly...YoungOf the 84 players on the current Indiana State roster, a total of 65 student-athletes are underclassmen -- or just over 76 percent. There are 38 true or redshirt freshmen on the roster currently. A total of 19 student-athletes have seen their first collegiate action this season, including 18 true or redshirt freshmen.

We Are Mostly...Young (PART 2)In research conducted nationally this week, it was determined that Indiana State has played 13 true freshmen this season, which is the second most in the nation behind Northwestern State. Included in that number is a nation-leading nine true freshmen who have started at least one contest during 2009.

Facing the Nation’s BestThe Sycamores face top five nationally-ranked Southern Illinois on Saturday, Oct. 31. ISU looks to down its first opponent in the Top 25 since downing No. 19 Western Illinois on Oct. 23, 1999. The Sycamores are 8-68 all-time against FCS nationally-ranked opponents, including a mark of 6-49 against league members that are nationally ranked.

Sycamores Against the MFVCIndiana State is in its 24th season as a member of the MVFC. ISU’s first season as a league member came in 1986 when it went 1-5 through a six-game league schedule. The Sycamores are 40-110 in MVFC contests and had lost each of their last 21 league matchups before downing Western Illinois last week.

Sycamores Have Three Of Top Six Tacklers In The LeagueIndiana State redshirt freshman linebacker Aaron Archie ranks second in the MVFC with a 10.3 tackles per game average, which leads the Sycamores and is ranked 21st nationally. He heads up a group of three Sycamore defensive starters, which rank in the top six league-wide for tackles per game and are in the top 55 nationally. Behind Archie is Donye McCleskey, who is averaging 9.3 stops per contest and is fourth in the league, 37th in the country. Sophomore Alex Sewall is sixth with an 8.6 tackles per game average, which is tied for 53rd in all of FCS football.

Return To SenderIndiana State has been solid in special teams, as the punt return squad ranks 32nd nationally with an 9.9 yards-per-return average. That mark is good enough for fourth in the MVFC. Individually, Darrius Gates averages 28.23 yards per kickoff return which is tops in the league and fifth-best nationally. As a team, the Sycamores average 21.07 yards per kick return, which is 45th nationally and in a league which boasts some of the best special teams in all of the FCS Subdivision, is fourth in the MVFC.

BARRELLING INISU debuted a new jumbo package against No. 3 Northern Iowa in the Sycamores’ last game before the open week, and the benefactor was Rod Hardy, who has started every game this season at defensive tackle. Hardy, who recovered a UNI fumble to give the Sycamores a short field offensively, plunged into the end zone to give ISU its first offensive points since the second game of the season at Louisville. Hardy was the first ISU player since 2005 to score an offensive touchdown despite starting the game on defense. Josh Jones scored on a pass reception that season against Western Kentucky in a game in which he also started at linebacker.

Few SeniorsIndiana State has just 10 players on its roster who are seniors. Of those, Mike Woods and Elliott Thomas are fifth-year seniors, while Donye McCleskey, Jeramie Gray, Jerry Calvert, Dan Millington, Pat Burke, and Bill McGrath are in their fourth year. Antoine Brown and Gabe Mullane transferred into the Sycamore program and are in their final season as well. Indiana State has the fourth-fewest seniors on a 2009 roster nationally.

Working OvertimeThe Sycamores have played in 11 overtime contests since the rule was established for regular season games in the NCAA FCS Subdivision in 1996. The Sycamores are 6-5 in games that have used an extra period, including a 33-30 overtime win over Eastern Illinois in 2004.

Up Next . . .Indiana State takes its final road trip of the season when they travel to Missouri State on Saturday, Nov. 7. Kickoff is slated for 2:00 p.m. (ET).

The Last Time Against Southern Illinois … Oct. 11, 2008CARBONDALE, Ill. – After playing two straight home games at Memorial Stadium, Indiana State returned to the road on Saturday to face off against No. 15 Southern Illinois. The Salukis (3-2, 2-1 MVFC) scored on their first play from scrimmage and never looked back as they defeated the Sycamores (0-6, 0-2 MVFC) on Homecoming at McAndrew Stadium. Indiana State kicked off to the Salukis to begin the game, however the squib kick by Braulio Martinez dribbled out of bounds to give SIU the ball at the 40 yard line. From there, the Salukis did not waste any time as quarterback Chris Dieker hooked up with wide receiver Damian Sherman on a 60-yard touchdown reception on the first play from scrimmage to put SIU up 7-0 just seven seconds into the game. Following an ISU four-and-out on its first possession of the game, Southern Illinois drove deep into ISU territory before Alex Sewall knocked the ball loose from SIU running back Larry Warner and Larry Carter recovered the fumble at the team’s 19 yard line to end the scoring threat. Southern Illinois got back on the scoreboard on a Warner 10-yard touchdown run that capped off a nine-play, 81-yard drive with 3:16left in the first quarter to extend the lead to 14-0 over the Sycamores. The score would stay that way until early in the second quarter, when the Salukis pulled a trick play out of the playbook to score their third touchdown of the game. Dieker threw a swing pass to wide receiver Matt Guinn who then proceeded to throw back across the field to hook up with Dieker for a 36-yard touchdown to bring the score to 21-0 with 14:26 left in the half. On the ensuing drive for the Sycamores, Gabe Mullane had his punt attempt blocked by SIU’s Lance Caldwell who then picked up the ball and ran it back three yards for a quick touchdown to make the score 28-0 with 12:42 left. The two teams then traded possessions before the Salukis scored on a costly ISU turnover. Quarterback Matt Seliger was sacked deep in ISU territory by James Cloud and fumbled, which allowed linebacker Kyle Walker to scoop the ball up and run eight yards for the touchdown. On the point after attempt, holder Scott Ravanesi bobbled the snap, kicker Kyle Dougherty recovered and then proceeded to throw the ball into the endzone to find Jason Seaman for the two-point conversion to make the score 36-0 with 6:29 remaining in the half. SIU got the ball back and worked with a short field after a punt from Mullane that went off the side of his foot. The Salukis needed two plays to find the endzone as running back Lucien Walker walked in from a yard out to extend the lead to 43-0 with 3:52 left to play until halftime. The Salukis then recovered a fumble on ISU’s first play from scrimmage on the ensuing drive to get the ball back at the 14 yard line. From there, Richard White rumbled 14 yards on the first play of the drive to widen the score to 50-0 with 3:40 remaining, which is where it stayed as both teams headed into the locker room at halftime. As the teams started the second half, ISU forced a Saluki punt however kick returner Koby Kraemer bobbled the fair catch attempt and SIU’s Travis Bloomfield recovered to give the Salukis the ball at the ISU nine yard line. From there, the Sycamore defense stiffened and forced a 25-yard field goal by Dougherty that brought the score to 53-0 with 7:07 remaining in the third quarter. Following the defensive stop, the Sycamores put together an impressive drive to score their first points of the game. Quarterback Calvin Schmidtke capped off a 10-play, 72-yard drive that took 5:25 off the clock by connecting with senior wide receiver Ryan Patrick on a 48-yard touchdown pass to make the score 53-7 with 1:34 remaining in the third quarter. The touchdown pass was the first of Schmidtke’s career at ISU and the second TD reception of the season for Patrick. The play was also the longest from scrimmage for ISU through six games played and marked the team’s first road touchdown of the season. The score stayed that way until the fourth quarter, when SIU’s Jonate Govan scored on a 20-yard touchdown run to put the Salukis up 60-7 after the Dougherty extra point with 9:12 remaining in the game. The score stayed that way for the rest of the quarter and the Salukis came away with the victory, their third of the season and second in Missouri Valley Football Conference play. Schmidtke finished the game with 160 yards and a touchdown on 17-of-24 passing, with that touchdown being hauled in by Patrick who led the way with seven catches for 92 yards. Sewall led the way on defense with seven total tackles, all solos, and forced two fumbles while Donye McCleskey added six tackles on the afternoon.

Head coach Trent Miles enters his second year at the helm of the Indiana State football program in 2009. Miles was named the Sycamores’ 23rd head football coach on Dec. 4, 2007.

In his inaugural season on the job, Miles had three players earn All-Missouri Valley Conference honors as Jayden Everett,

Donye McCleskey and Alex Sewall all took Honorable Mention plaudits. Additionally, Sewall, Larry Carter and Ryan Roberts took MVFC All-Newcomer status.

Everett recorded 102 total tackles on the season, which ranked in the nation’s top 20 and was in the top five in the MVFC. He also had a key forced fumble and recovery in the season finale against Missouri State that allowed Indiana State to comeback from down 14-0 to force overtime. Everett posted six games in which he recorded double digit tackles, including a season-high 18 stops on Homecoming versus South Dakota State.

McCleskey posted 98 total tackles last season, including 53 total stops. In the conference opener against Illinois State, McCleskey was credited with a career-high 17 total tackles. Known as a big-play defensive threat, McCleskey recovered a fumble and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown at Youngstown State. He had four games in which he recorded at least 10 tackles, including 13 against South Dakota State, 11 in the season finale versus Missouri State, 10 at Western Illinois and the season-best 17 versus the Redbirds.

Sewall was Indiana State’s top newcomer on defense with 90 total tackles, including 52 solo stops as he played in all 12 of the Sycamores’ contests this season. He notched a season-best nine tackles in five different contests: at Eastern Illinois, at Northern Illinois, South Dakota State, at North Dakota State and in the season finale versus Missouri State.

Carter played in 10 games in 2009 and recorded 34 total tackles, including one for a loss and was credited with one half of a sack. He broke up four passes this season and recovered one fumble at Southern Illinois. In the conference opener against Illinois State, Carter posted a team-high eight tackles.

Roberts played in all 12 games this year, including the final six as the Sycamore quarterback after playing the first six games on the defensive side of the ball. He completed 39-of-84 passes for 294 yards, including a long of 20 yards. Roberts was strong on the ground with 107 rushes for 194 yards, plus three rushing touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, Roberts was credited with nine total tackles. He posted a season-high 59 rushing yards at Youngstown State and was 15-of-24 for 124 yards passing against South Dakota State.

Running a well-rounded program is an important concept for Miles, as evidenced by a trio of Sycamores being named to the MVFC All-Academic squad. Those Sycamores making the second team were tight end Josh Jones and punter Gabe Mullane, while offensive lineman Jack Byrne was an honorable mention selection.

Jones, who holds 3.92 GPA in Exercise Science, was the Sycamores’ top pass catching tight end as he hauled in 11 passes for 83 yards, an average of 7.5 yards per catch. Jones also was credited with one rush and a pair of kickoff returns during the season.

Page 9: Southern Illinois at Indiana State (Final)

Mullane, who has earned a 3.93 GPA in Physical Education, punted 82 times on the year for a total of 2,948 yards. He averaged 36.0 yards per kick and recorded a long punt of 66 yards. Mullane only had two touchbacks in 82 punts and forced 10 fair catches. He was able to pin the opposition inside their own 20-yard line a total of 17 times and recorded six punts of 50 yards or more.

Byrne, who has a 3.15 GPA in Business, played and started in all 12 games for the Sycamores at the center position. The Sycamore offense gained 1,539 yards on the ground and reached the end zone eight times. Byrne was the leader of a team which also had 881 yards through the air and reached the end zone through the air three times.

The ISU Football team is also very involved in community service, including working tirelessly across the Wabash Valley in June of 2008 helping victims of the floods in the area. The football players at ISU also are committed to teaching young children how to read and visiting with local hospitals to help children that are ill.Miles is a native of Terre Haute, Ind., and a 1987 graduate of Indiana State. Miles was a wide receiver at Indiana State from 1982-86, where his 1983 and 1984 squads each won nine games and advanced to the NCAA FCS playoffs. The 1984 Sycamores were ranked No. 1 in the nation for most of the season. That team was inducted into the Indiana State University Hall of Fame on Sept. 7, 2002.

Prior to coming to Indiana State, Miles completed his third season as the Washington running backs coach in 2007 after having spent the previous three years on Tyrone Willingham’s staff at Notre Dame as the wide receivers coach.

In 2007, Husky running back Louis Rankin rushed for 1,294 yards, be-coming the first Washington player to tally a 1,000-yard rushing season since 1997.While at Notre Dame, he mentored future NFL standouts Maurice Stovall, Rhema McKnight and Arnaz Battle, as well as Jeff Samardzija, who is now playing professional baseball in the Chicago Cubs organization.

Prior to coaching at Notre Dame, Miles worked under Willingham for one year at Stanford. That season Miles had the opportunity to coach some of the nation’s finest receivers including Luke Powell (whose 22.3-yard average per catch set a school record) and Teyo Johnson (the 2001 Pacific-10 Co-Freshman of the Year and a second-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders in 2003).

Miles spent the 2000 campaign with the Green Bay Packers as an offen-sive assistant, working with the wide receivers and as a quality control coach. During his tenure with the Packers, he coached NFL all-pro receiver Antonio Freeman.

Miles has 20 years of coaching experience on the collegiate level. He was the wide receivers coach at Fresno State for three years (1997-99), producing some of the greatest receivers in Bulldogs’ history. In 1999, two of his receivers, Rodney Wright and Charles Smith, combined to produce more than 1,600 yards and 14 touchdowns on 120 receptions. Their production helped the Bulldogs to a share of the Western Athletic Conference championship and a berth in the Las Vegas Bowl. He also recruited and coached Bernard Barien of the Minnesota Vikings.

Throughout his career, Miles has coached on both sides of the ball including wide receivers, defensive backs and linebackers. Miles began his coaching career at Indiana State in 1987, tutoring the wide receivers and defensive backs as a graduate assistant. Another graduate assistant position followed at New Mexico (1988-89), where he worked with the receivers and linebackers. Miles then moved on to Oklahoma in 1990, working with the wide receivers as a graduate assistant.

Following four seasons as an assistant at Northern Illinois (1991-93 as receivers coach, 1994 with defensive backs), Miles headed west to Hawaii for two seasons (1995-96), where he spent a season each with the wide receivers and defensive backs.

Miles earned a bachelor’s degree in criminology from Indiana State in 1987. He was born July 29, 1963, in Terre Haute, Ind. Miles married the former Bridget Hogan on July 10, 2004. They have three daughters, Kaylee, Anna, and Charlie Elizabeth.

Game 1: Quincy RecapTERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Indiana State fell to Quincy by the score of 26-20 in overtime on Thursday night in the season opener for both teams in front of 7,216 fans at Memorial Stadium.

The Sycamores opened the game with a barrage, taking a 17-0 lead out of the gate. ISU sophomore kicker Braulio Martinez hit a 40-yard �eld goal to take a 3-0 lead with 7:44 left in the �rst quarter. Martinez’s kick capped a 10-play, 52-yard drive that took 4:59 o� the clock.

The lead grew on a �ve-yard pass to sophomore Ryan Roberts from Stutzriem for a 10-0 advantage with 5:50 left in the opening stanza. The four-play, nine-yard scoring drive was set up by a Sam Donatucci fumble which was forced by Nate Brown and recovered by Aaron Archie.

Indiana State’s lead ballooned to 17-0 on the biggest play of the game when tailback Darrius Gates hit Bryant Kent on a 75-yard scoring strike with 1:01 left in the �rst period, a play which was a perfectly executed tailback pass.

The Sycamores’ 17-0 advantage was its largest since a 28-7 lead over Illinois State on October 2, 2004.

Quincy cut the Sycamore lead down to 17-3 with a 22-yard �eld goal by Alex Beard with 11:12 to go in the second quarter.

The lead went down to 17-6 on a 30-yard �eld goal by Beard with 10:12 to go in the third quarter, the period’s only score.

That set up a wild fourth quarter in which Tyler Truttmann caught a 12-yard pass from Donatucci and then Donatucci found Chris Jenkins in the end zone for the two-point conversion to make it 17-14 with 14:09 to go.

The Sycamores answered back with a 27-yard Martinez �eld goal to make it 20-14 with 8:35 to go in regulation. Martinez connected on a pair of �eld goals against Quincy -- the �rst time in his career he has made more than �eld goal in a single game.

Donatucci knotted the score with 43 seconds left at 20 with a one-yard plunge into the end zone. Beard’s kick failed after Quincy was �agged for a false start and had to make its attempt from the eight-yard line instead of the three.

Indiana State was unable to score and even had to survive a last second attempt by Quincy as they gained possession with three seconds left on the clock.

Quincy won the toss to begin overtime and elected to play defense. The Hawks held as the Sycamores lost the ball on a botched shotgun snap back to Stutzriem.

Quincy marched down to the one-yard line and the Sycamore defense held on �rst and goal, but on second and goal, Donatucci plunged in from a yard out to earn the 26-20 overtime victory.

Gates paced Indiana State with 102 yards on the ground while Stutzriem was 9-of-18 for 60 yards with an interception. Gates was the team’s leading passer with 75 yards in the air on the trick play in the �rst quarter.

Ryan Roberts caught a team-high three passes for 18 yards while Kent paced the team with his 75-yard scoring catch from Gates.

Defensively, Donye McCleskey and Aaron Archie each had 10 tackles on the night while Archie added a tackle for loss, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery. Nate Brown paced ISU with three tackles for loss and forced a fumble.

Lawrence Young recorded the team’s only sack while ISU combined for nine tackles for losses in the game.

The Sycamores return to action on Saturday, September 5 when they travel to Louisville. Kick-o� is slated for 7:30 p.m. (EDT).

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Indiana State took a 7-3 �rst-quarter lead but was held to 101 yards on the night by the Louisville defense in a 30-10 loss at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium Saturday night. In front of 39,344 fans, the Sycamores dropped to 0-2 on the season, while UL improved to 1-0.

The Sycamore defense proved that Louisville wouldn’t be the only defensive force on the evening as Indiana State put the stops to the Cardinal o�ense as well in their season opener.

ISU defensive back Santino Davis highlighted the game for ISU by posting a pair of interceptions – the most over any FBS opponent in ISU history – including one that set up a touchdown drive that gave the Sycamores an early 7-3 lead. Davis’ two interceptions in one game are the �fth-best showing in school history, and is the best performance since John Allman against Illinois State on Oct. 27, 1979.

Louisville produced a balanced o�ensive attack in its season opener, as Victor Anderson rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Justin Burke had a 17-for-31 passing night for 223 yards, and Ryan Payne also kicked three �eld goals of 28, 21 and 31 yards, respectively.

For the Sycamores, Antoine Brown led the ground game with 14 yards on nine carries, and Darrius Gates produced eight yards on 10 tries. Larry Lacotti had three receptions for 26 yards, while Ryan Roberts totaled 24 yards on two receptions. Defensively, Aaron Archie had the most tackles of any player on either team with 9.5.

Louisville jumped on the board �rst with a �eld goal by Payne at 9:44 in the �rst quarter. The Sycamores responded with an interception by Davis just before the 6:00 mark, grabbing a Burke pass at the Louisville 33-yardline and returned it four yards to the UL 29. The pick set up a touchdown drive led by ISU quarterback Chris Stutzriem, who guided a seven-play, 29-yard drive. The sophomore faced a third-and-goal situation from the 3-yard-line before a short touchdown run – his �rst rushing TD of the season – with 1:30 remaining. Braulio Martinez added an extra-point kick to give ISU a 7-3 lead to �nish the �rst quarter.

The Cardinals rallied with two touchdowns in the second quarter, with Powell �nding the end zone �rst on a six-yard touchdown run at 9:57, putting UL up 10-7. Louisville then worked its way down the �eld again, as Victor Anderson scored with 5:03 remaining in the half on a six-yard run. The Sycamores’ Davis intercepted his second pass of the game in the �nal minute, and ISU trailed 17-7 at halftime.

In the third quarter, UL went up 24-7 on a 14-yard rushing touchdown by Anderson and a Payne kick. The Cardinals extended the lead with 49 seconds remaining in the quarter, with Payne’s �eld goal for a 27-7 score. Gates added a spark with a 55-yard kicko� return for ISU, bringing the ball to the UL 31 with 49 seconds to go.

Travis Johnson entered the game in place of Stutzriem to begin the drive, tossing a 15-yard pass to Lacotti to take it to the UL 16 and later hitting Lacotti again for a �ve-yard completion at the 13 yardline. The drive allowed Martinez to kick a 30-yard �eld goal at 12:58 to chip the Cardinal lead to 27-10.

UL tacked on another �eld goal from Payne at 7:52, increasing the lead to 30-10 and giving the Cardinals their �rst win of the season.

The Sycamores were e�cient in the game, converting on 7-of-16 third down conversions while holding Louisville to just 1-of-9.

Indiana State returns to Terre Haute to face o� with Eastern Illinois on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 12:05 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Indiana State fell by the score of 31-0 to Eastern Illinois in its �nal non-conference tilt of the 2009 campaign in front of 2,977 fans at Memorial Stadium.

O�ensively, Indiana State was led in the passing by redshirt freshman Travis Johnson, who made his �rst career start. Johnson was 8-of-15 for 63 yards with an interception in the contest. Chris Stutzreim, who had started the �rst two contests, came on in relief and was 3-of-7 for eight yards.

On the ground, Antoine Brown paced the Sycamores for the �rst time this season with 10 rushes for 29 yards while Darrius Gates had six rushes for nine yards.

Brown also was solid out of the back�eld for the Sycamores, hauling in four passes for 29 yards while Gates had a trio of catches for 12 yards.

Defensively, freshman Jacolby Washington made 10 tackles while Santino Davis had seven tackles, including a pair for losses.

Donye McCleksey and Austen Wozniak each had quarterback sacks while Rod Hardy and Nate Brown added tackles for loss.

Dillon Painter added a fumble recovery in the game.

Eastern Illinois recorded their �rst score of the game at the 9:30 mark in the �rst quarter when Chavar Watkins raced into the end zone from 20 yards out for a quick 7-0 lead. The Panther advantage ballooned to 14-0 just 18 seconds later on a 26-yard interception touchdown return of a Johnson pass with 9:12 left in the opening stanza.

Eastern Illinois added another score on a 54-yard touchdown run by Williams with 4:41 left to go in the opening half to make it 21-0.

The Panthers got an extra three points heading into halftime on a 31-yard �eld goal by Austin Signor as time expired.
