It was a season of domination for the Salukis as they muscled their way to a playoff berth in 2007.
Southern Illinois blew out opponents and even scored a 34-31 victory of Northern Illinois of the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Despite an amazing campaign last season, the Salukis five-year stretch of playoff berths is in trouble as the team returns no starters at the skill positions.
New head coach Dale Lennon is a proven winner with a 90-24 career record, but Lennon will be tested with a depleted depth chart in his first season.
