Western Illinois 17 #16 Southern Illinois 34 September 27, 2014 Saluki Stadium CARBONDALE, Ill. - Western Illinois took a lead into halftime, but Southern Illinois took advantage of excellent field position during the third quarter and pulled out a 34-17 win. SIU scored points on all three possessions during the third quarter to regain the lead for good. Western marched 75 yards in nine plays, thanks to two big pass plays from Trenton Norvell to Joey Borsellino, and capped the drive on a screen pass to J.C. Baker that he broke for a 23-yard score. Nathan Knuffman’s extra point tied the game with just under two minutes in the opening quarter. Western defense kept the momentum going, forcing a 3-and- out on Southern’s next series. A 75-yard punt by NIck Neidig pinned Western at its own one-yard line. The Leathernecks picked up three first downs while facing third-and-long, including a 50-yard pass from Norvell to Lance Lenoir, Jr.. Devon Moore reached the endzone on a 3-yard touchdown run and 14-7 lead. Lenoir recorded his third career 100-yard receiving game, matching a persona-high 115 yards on seven catches. Kevin Kintzel recorded a game-high 12 stops, setting a new personal best. J.J. Raffelson added 10 tackles, equaling his season-high from last week. Jonathon Rollins added nine tackles (six solos) to go with his interception.
