TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Sam Straub threw three touchdowns and Southern Illinois kept Indiana State winless with a 45-24 victory on Saturday.
Straub threw for 352 yards for the Salukis (4-3, 2-2 Missouri Valley Conference). Daquan Isom ran for 73 yards and two scores -- one rushing, one receiving -- and Darrell James had 154 yards and a score receiving.

The Sycamores (0-7, 0-4) scored on a pass interception by Rondell Green with 8:17 left in the fourth quarter but a fumble ended their next drive and the Salukis defense remained firm in the final minutes.
