DETROIT – The No. 16 UIndy football team earned a key road win Saturday night, authoring a 30-6 victory at Wayne State University. The Greyhounds took control of the game early and led wire-to-wire to get the region win.
 
The UIndy defense limited the Warriors to just a pair of field goals, as the home team did not find the end zone all night.
 
INS & OUTS
The Hounds came out of the gate quickly, scoring on all four of their first-half possessions. Despite an average starting field position on their own 14 yard-line, UIndy generated three TDs and a field goal in the opening half. The action included two drives of 94-plus yards, which were capped by a 34-yard touchdown pass to Kaleb Carver and a 45-yard bomb to Alonzo Derrick, respectively.
 
The margin stood at 19 points at the half and never got lower. The Hounds got the lone TD of the second half from Jon Lewis, who punched it in from five yards out late in the third quarter. The final points came in the final minutes on a sack in the end zone by Aaron Barnett.
 
Quarterback Gavin Sukup finished north of 300 yards passing for the second consecutive week. He racked up 325 yards Saturday, including 245 in the first half alone.
 
Linebackers Clay Schulte and Kole Viel combined for 24 tackles, with the former adding a fourth-quarter interception to help seal it.
 
INSIDE THE BOX
- Redshirt-freshman tight end Luke Chambers scored his first collegiate touchdown tonight—a 12-yard TD reception in the second quarter.
- Anthony Crowell led the Greyhound receiving corps in both catches (9) and receiving yards (107). He added a 32-yard punt return in the third quarter—the longest by a Hound this season—to up his all-purpose total to 139 yards.
- The first UIndy punt did not come until inside of 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
- The UIndy running game produced 5.3 yards per rush, with Lewis posting a game-high 90 yards on the ground.
- Kicker Colin Seymour connected on a 26-yard field goal late in the first half. He and teammate Ian Burr combined to go just 1-for-4 on extra points.
