Football Dismantles Quincy, Ups Win Streak To Seven

QUINCY, Ill. – The 12th-ranked UIndy football team extended its win streak Saturday afternoon, lighting up the scoreboard in a 49-3 win at Quincy University. The Greyhounds came one point shy of a fourth consecutive 50-point game, while senior quarterback Gavin Sukup tied the program record for career passing touchdowns.
 
INS & OUTS
UIndy got out of the gate quickly, scoring on its first two drives to take an early 14-0 lead. The initial action was highlighted by a 40-yard pitch-and-catch from Sukup to Alonzo Derrick.
   
The Hawks managed a field goal in the waning seconds of the half, but it proved to be the first and final Quincy score of the day. The Greyhound defense kept the Hawks out of the end zone with the help of three interceptions, including two second-half picks by safety Eli Liapis.
 
The Hounds pulled away with touchdown drives on each of their first four possessions of the second half. Two came from long distance, including Sukup's record-tying pass—a 49-yard TD pass to Markez Gillam—and a 53-yard sprint to the house from Garrett Sherrell.
   
Sherrell finished with two TDs and 170 all-purpose yards, leading the team in rushing (91 yds), receptions (6) and receiving yards (79).
 
Sukup, meanwhile, continued his magical season. The Harlon Hill Award candidate racked up 287 yards and three touchdowns and has not thrown an interception in since September.
 
INSIDE THE BOX
- Alvin Contreras joined Liapis in the interception column with a pick in the second quarter. Both players shared the team lead with seven tackles apiece.
- UIndy had six tackles for a loss on the day, including a combined 3.5 TFLs from Jalen Wilson and Cornell Branch IV.
- Junior Anthony Crowell racked up 58 punt return yards on three attempts.
- Freshman kicker Andrew Herron was true on all seven of his PAT attempts. He is now 47-for-47 in extra point attempts on the year.
 
MORE NOTES
UIndy is now 13-1 all-time versus Quincy … The Hounds have averaged nearly 58 points scored per game over the last four contests … Sukup now sits at 72 career touchdown passes, matching former Greyhound-great Chris Mills and his record-setting career total cemented in 2013 … The UIndy defense has notched eight interceptions in the last three games combined.
 
UP NEXT
The Greyhounds have their final regular-season road trip on tap. They'll travel to Bolivar, Mo., on Saturday, Nov. 8 to battle Southwest Baptist.
