INDIANAPOLIS – The 15th-ranked UIndy football team won its sixth straight Saturday afternoon, delivering an emphatic 62-7 victory against visiting Lincoln University. The Greyhounds outgained the Blue Tigers by nearly 500 yards and have now generated at least 56 points in each of the last three weeks.
 
INS & OUTS
UIndy put Lincoln away early, building a three-score lead by the end of the first quarter and a 45-7 advantage by the half. Garrett Sherrell racked up 158 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns before intermission, while QB Gavin Sukup managed more than 200 passing yards and three TDs.
 
The Greyhound reserves took over in the third quarter, authoring three more scoring drives before the game was called due to incoming severe thunderstorms.

Defensively, UIndy held its guest to just 88 total yards—lowest for a Greyhound opponent since Quincy mustered only 56 in the unique spring-of-2021 season.
