CARBONDALE, Ill. – Indiana State rode an impressive aerial performance to a close 22-14 victory over Southern Illinois at Saluki Stadium on Saturday afternoon, marking the third time in as many trips to Carbondale that the Sycamores have spoiled Homecoming for the Salukis.

Indiana State (4-4, 2-3 MVFC) lit up Southern (2-5, 0-4 MVFC) for 438 yards of total offense – 336 of which came through the air thanks to another spectacular day out of QB Isaac Harker (23-of-39, 336 yards, 3 TD) and two extraordinary outputs from receivers Miles Thompson (five catches, 147 yards, 1 TD) and Robert Tonyan Jr.
