NDIANAPOLIS – The eighth-ranked UIndy football team (7-0, 5-0 GLVC) remained undefeated with a 48-7 win against visiting Missouri S&T on a rainy Saturday night at Key Stadium. The result gave the Greyhounds their 23rd consecutive victory in Great Lakes Valley Conference play, setting a new league record.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Battling a persistent downpour much of the evening, the Hounds rushed for more than 400 yards, including a combined 324 from running backs Al McKeller and Toriano Clinton. Meanwhile, the UIndy defense delivered a pair of touchdowns to aid the cause, as Joe Lambright returned a fumble 60 yards for a score after earlier blocking a punt that teammate Kiave' Guerrier recovered in the end zone.
 
Leading 14-0 coming out of the half, the Greyhounds delivered a 20-point salvo in the third quarter to pull away. After Clinton opened the second half with a 58-yard kickoff return, UIndy needed just 36 seconds to make it a three-score game. McKeller broke off runs of 28 and 10 yards in the brief but effective drive to extend the lead.
 
UIndy next scored on a more traditional possession – a 12-play, 62-yard touchdown drive – and quickly followed with Lambright's blocked punt and Guerrier's subsequent TD to make it 34-zip midway through the third.
