CARBONDALE, Ill. — Southern Illinois quarterback Michael Lindauer's coming-out party also was a dazzling farewell. The senior graduate assistant was pressed into duty as a player again when injuries left the Salukis in need of a quarterback. He made his first career start last weekend and threw for a school-record seven touchdowns in a 62-0 victory against Murray State. Lindauer completed 20 of 33 passes for 283 yards. Before the game, he had attempted 27 career passes in five years in stints at Cincinnati and with the Salukis.
