Mich. Tech. Football Moves To 2-0 With Second Straight Road Win 24 – 19

By

Sept. 14, 2019

From MICHIGANTECHHUSKIES.COM

LEBANON, Ill. – The Michigan Tech football team held back McKendree University for a 24-19 non-conference win Saturday afternoon on the road. The Huskies used all three phases of the game to secure their second consecutive road win to start the year. The defense had two more interceptions which led to 10 points on the scoreboard.

“It wasn’t a pretty game, but to go on the road for the second week in a row and get a win was huge for our team,” Michigan Tech Head Coach Steve Olson said. “I’m extremely happy to be 2-0 and proud of our players for overcoming some adversity. We had a number of players step up and make some outstanding plays against a good McKendree team to close out the game and get the win.

“On the offensive side of the ball I thought we ran the ball effectively at times and put together some solid drives, especially the one to start the second half. Turnovers are always a big key in any football game in terms of taking care of the football on offense while creating takeaways on the defensive side of the ball. When you are able to do that it gives you the best shot to win and that was the case today. We also had a solid effort on special teams as well, with Evan Gornick connecting on a key field goal in the second half. Overall, there were a lot of positives to take away from this game going into next week’s contest at Saginaw Valley State.”

CMU Dispatchs Akron Zips, 45 – 24, Clears The Way For Road Game At Miami (Fla.)

By

Sept. 14, 2019

From Andy Sneddon, CMUChippewas.com

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Yes, it was just one single football game.

But to a Central Michigan program that won just once last season and was coming off a 61-0 whitewash a week prior at Wisconsin, it was so much more than that.

And a pair of backups led the charge.

David Moore threw for 316 yards and two touchdowns and Kobe Lewis amassed 183 yards and three scores on 30 touches on Saturday as the Chippewas topped Akron, 45-24, before 18,641 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

It was the Mid-American Conference opener for the CMU (2-1), which won a league game for the first time since Nov. 24, 2017.

“Just can’t tell you how proud I am of our football team and this coaching staff,” first-year CMU coach Jim McElwain said. “It goes back to me feeling so good for these players, who maybe didn’t feel great about themselves (before) and yet understanding that the work you put in to it is what’s going to help you in whatever you do in life, and they saw that.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University football team is leaving a Big Ten Conference stadium with a win for the third consecutive season after beating the University of Illinois, 34-31, today, Sept. 14, at historic Memorial Stadium.

SVSU Football Opens 2019 Campaign On The Road, In Texas, With 35 – 14 Victory!

By

Sept. 07, 2019

From SVSUCARDINALS.COM

KINGSVILLE, Texas — The Saginaw Valley State University Football team opened the 2019 season with a big 35-14 victory on the road over Texas A&M-Kingsville, using five defensive turnovers and four touchdowns from senior quarterback Ryan Conklin to claim the win.

After a scoreless first quarter, SVSU outscored the Javelinas 14-0 in the second to take that lead into halftime. Conklin found a wide open Chad Gailliard down the left sideline for a 44-yard touchdown pass with 3:37 left in the first half to make the count 7-0. The second score came after Jacob Dorn recovered a fumble at the Kingsville 3–yardline and Conklin promptly found Nysir Minney-Gratz for a 30-yard touchdown strike to push the count to 14-0.

Kingsville opened the scoring in the second half, trimming the Cardinal lead to 14-7 with 5:19 showing in the third quarter on a 22-yard pass play.

It didn’t take long for the Cardinals to respond, as SV found paydirt for the third time with 4:23 left in the third quarter as Conklin hit Casey Williams on a route and Williams took over and finished-off a 79-yard touchdown play. That pushed the visitors’ lead to 21-7.

The Cardinal defense got into the action to start the fourth quarter, as Marvin White picked-off a pass and brought it back to the house 71 yards for a pick-six and 28-7 Saginaw Valley lead just 18 seconds into the final frame.

The Javelinas scored again with 10:30 left to make the count 28-14 in SVSU’s favor but the nail in the coffin came when Conklin rushed the ball into the endzone from 13 yards out with just 4:33 left to push the lead out to 35-14.

That is where the final score remained, as SVSU sealed the deal and moved to 1-0 to begin the season.

From MGOBlue.Com

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Sophomore Jake Moody‘s 43-yard field goal proved to be the difference as the No. 7-ranked University of Michigan football team overcame early deficits and three first-half fumbles lost to defeat Army, 24-21, in double overtime Saturday (Sept. 7) at Michigan Stadium.

In the first meeting between the two teams since 1962, freshman Zach Charbonnet rushed for career highs of 33 carries, 100 yards and three touchdowns, and the Michigan defense came up big in the second overtime, ending the game with a quarterback sack and fumble recovery by junior Kwity Paye. U-M trailed 7-0 early and 14-7 at the half, and the Maize and Blue dodged Army’s 50-yard field goal attempt that fell short on the last play of regulation.

The Wolverines had the ball first in the second overtime period, and three incomplete passes led to a 43-yard field goal attempt from Moody, who snuck the ball inside the left upright for a 24-21 Michigan lead.
