INDIANAPOLIS – The 19th-ranked UIndy football team rolled to a 63-17 win over William Jewell Saturday night at Key Stadium. Senior quarterback
Gavin Sukup delivered a special performance—even to his standards. The two-time reigning GLVC Player of the Year racked up 379 total yards and six touchdown passes in the one-sided win.

The Greyhounds scored early and often Saturday, jumping out to a 14-0 lead in the first seven minutes on the way to a 42-point first half. By the time the dust settled, UIndy lit up the scoreboard for 63 points, its highest total since it hung 70 points on Quincy in October of 2021.
Individually, Sukup put up some historic numbers in front of the Key Stadium faithful. He matched the school record for touchdown passes in a game (6), became just the third UIndy quarterback in recorded history with 100-plus rushing yards in a game (105), and also joined a club of only four Greyhounds all-time with 7,000 career passing yards.
