Greyhounds Win Big at Missouri S&T, 56-13

ROLLA, Mo. – In another lopsided final score, the No. 18 UIndy football team continued to roll through GLVC competition, earning a 56-13 road win versus Missouri S&T. The Greyhounds put up 50-plus points for the second straight week and are now 4-0 in conference play.
 
INS & OUTS
UIndy orchestrated one of the most efficient first halves a football team can hope for. Interceptions by defensive backs TJ Easley-Jones and Mario Williams bookended the half, while in between, the UIndy offense capped each of its five possessions with a touchdown. Redshirt-freshman Juseters Fataki ran for two first-half scores, while Garrett Sherrell, Alonzo Derrick and Kaleb Carver also found the zone.
 
The host Miners found a little life in the third quarter, forcing UIndy's first (and only) two punts of the night while connecting on a pair of field goals. They failed to make a significant dent in the margin, however, as the Hounds went on to compile nearly 500 total yards, including more than 300 through the air.
 
Speaking of which, quarterback Gavin Sukup remained red hot. After a historic performance last week, the senior and team captain finished a surgical 21 for 25 passing for 271 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions.
 
Defensively, Jerrell Franklin Jr. and Nick Johnson shared the team lead with six tackles apiece. TJ Easley-Jones, Mario Williams and TJ Cothron each had an interception, the latter two being career firsts.
 
INSIDE THE BOX
- Fataki finished with a game-high 88 rushing yards and three TDs, while Sherrell added 51 more on the ground.
- Derrick amassed six catches for 81 yards to lead the Greyhound receiving corps.
- The UIndy defense combined for 10 tackles for a loss, including Adam Blakey's 1.5 sacks.
- Williams added a forced fumble while Easley-Jones was credited with three pass break-ups.
 
MORE NOTES
UIndy moved to 12-1 all-time versus Missouri S&T. The Hounds have won the last two meetings by a combined 88 points.

UP NEXT
The Greyhounds return home to host the Blue Tigers of Lincoln University on Oct. 18. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. on the first-ever Southside Saturday at Key Stadium.
