LEC struggles a bit in the run game only averaging 2.6 yards per attempt and around 75 yards per contest.ĭespite allowing more than 30 points per outing, we see a real shot for the ‘Cats here. QB Gerald Gardner leads Lake Erie’s attack, and he has thrown 22 TD passes on the wings of 288 passing yards per game. Surely, they also have the same desire to close out the season with a win. After moving to the GMAC the results haven’t been markedly different, and LEC enters this one with the same 3-7 mark Northern has. The Storm used to be in the GLIAC, but never really established much of a foothold in terms of football as they weren’t able to notch more than three victories in any of their seven seasons of league play. While they can’t salvage a winning season they can at least finish with a victory, and they’ll get their shot when they travel to northeast Ohio to visit Lake Erie College. But five long, cruel weeks later, the ‘Cats are left disappointed with how quickly their winning record vanished. Northern Michigan (3-7) at Lake Erie (3-7)Īfter a 3-2 start, Northern Michigan had to believe they were on the cusp of a season that would place them firmly on the path to bigger things in 2023. Marcus Taylor led the Bulldogs in carries, and notched his first 100-yard rushing game of the season (105). FSU QB Mylik Mitchell found the end zone on the ground for the first time since Week One, as he and Carson Gulker split time helming the offense. The Bulldog defense was tremendous, holding the Panthers to 183 yards of total offense and notching the game’s first TD on an interception return. Ferris did hit for about their average yardage-wise, but didn’t find the end zone on offense until late in the second quarter. The Grand Valley defense was dominant once again, holding an opponent to 42 rushing yards or less for the fourth time in their last five games.įor two teams that typically move the ball like mad and score a lot of points, we really didn’t see much of that here. GV QB Cade Peterson continued his solid play, leading the Laker ground attack and accounting for four total TD’s (two rushing, two passing). The third quarter saw the Lakers explode for 21 points, and the lead was stretched out to 42-0 before Wayne got on the board a couple of times in the final six and a half minutes. Grand Valley held serve despite not being particularly effective on offense in the first half. In the losing cause, King had his second straight 100+ yard rushing day (121). Jairus Grissom continues to guide the SV offense effectively, and he was the top ground-gainer in a 277-yard rushing effort by the victors. The Cards then withstood a late Wildcat charge to snag the win. Ethan Champney latched on to all of Ark’s scoring tosses, and Darius Willis did damage all afternoon snaring 10 grabs for 150 yards.Īfter NMU RB Tyshon King electrified the SuperiorDome crowd with his 80-yard run late in the first quarter, Saginaw Valley methodically worked their way to a 27-7 lead early in the fourth quarter. The senior QB also ran in a fourth TD for good measure. Will Ark was splendid throughout, hitting 68% of this throws for 314 yards and three scores. We had a hunch Tech would catch Hillsdale on one of the “downs” of their roller coaster season, and a pair of lengthy touchdown drives in the fourth quarter proved it so. Those same three teams also have a GLIAC Title on their minds…but only one controls its own destiny. I know I sound like a broken record, but these things blow by us in such a hurry! Plenty still to be decided, as we have three teams with very real playoff aspirations.
