The Sports Network kept SIU’s football team third in the country earlier today, and honored wide receiver Bryce Morris. The Football Championship Subdivision coaches poll kept the Salukis third, too.
Morris blocked a punt that led to a touchdown Saturday at Indiana State. Sunday he was named Missouri Valley Football Conference special teams player of the week. Today he was honored as the national special teams player of the week by The Sports Network.
SIU (7-1, 6-0 MVFC) takes on ninth-ranked South Dakota State (7-1, 6-0) for at least a share of the regular-season title. SIU would win the title alone if it’s able to win Saturday in Brookings, S.D., and beat Missouri State, or if the Jackrabbits lose against Western Illinois in its regular-season finale.
Looks like we have a playoff game before the playoffs this weekend!
