GUSTAVUS’ 2012 RECORD WHEN... Game NotesGame Notesprogram. Haugen has a combined record of 12-22 in his three plus seasons. A graduate of Bethel University, Haugen was the head coach at Washburn High School prior to coming to Gustavus. Glenn Caruso was named the 29th head coach of the St. Thomas football team in 2008. A graduate of Ithaca College in 1996 where he majored in sport studies, Caruso went on to earn his master’s degree in education from North Dakota State University in 2004. Now in his seventh year at the head of the Tommie football team, Caruso holds an overall record of 53-19.

THE LONG AND WINDING... The Gustavus football team’s brutal early-season schedule shows no sign up letting up this week as the Guties take on their first ranked opponent in No. 3 St. Thomas. According to the most recent “Toughest Schedule” poll released by the NCAA on Oct. 3, Gustavus ranks first in NCAA Division III. With the MIAC showing balance through the ranks, five teams from within the conference join Gustavus inside the top 10 including Augsburg (5th), Saint John’s (6th), Hamline (7th), and Carleton (8th).

BEND DON’T BREAK... The Gustavus defense will need to utilize the bend-don’t-break philosophy on Saturday against one of the most best offenses in the nation. St. Thomas ranks first in the MIAC and 21st in the country in scoring average (40.0 ppg), and first in the MIAC and seventh in the nation in total yard average (514.5 ypg). The Gustie defense is allowing an average of 17.2 points per game (2nd/MIAC) and 375.2 total yards per game (5th/MIAC).

SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE... With the league’s second ranked rushing offense taking on the league’s top rushing defense, something’s gotta give up front. Gustavus is averaging 253.2 yards per game on the ground (21st/NCAA), while St. Thomas is allowing just 53.5 rushing yards per game (7th/NCAA). Gustavus has eight rushing touchdowns on the year and is averaging 5.5 yards per carry.

DYNAMIC DUO... Gustavus’ backfield duo of Muresuk Mena and Jeffrey Dubose has been the focal point of the Gustavus offense through the first four games of the season. Mena has rushed 73 times for 467 yards for an average of 116.8 yards per game and 6.4 yards per carry. Dubose has carried the ball 83 times for 434 yards, averaging 108.5 yards per game and 5.2 yards per carry.

Last weekend against Hamline, both Mena and Dubose eclipsed 100 rushing yards for the second time this season. Dubose led the way with 131 yards and Mena picked up 116 to equal a combined total of 248 yards. They are the third Gustavus pair since 1990 to rush for over 100 yards each in the same game twice in a season.

Mena and Dubose enter Saturday’s game against St. Thomas as the 31st and 44th ranked rushers, respectively, in the nation. The Gustavus pair averages a combined 225.3 yards per game. In NCAA Division III football, only running backs Luke Heinshohn (121.5



WEEKLY AWARD WINNERS Game Notes


ypg) and Tim McNerney (115.25) of Washington & Lee have a higher combined average at 236.75 yards per game.

In all divisions of NCAA football (FBS, FCS, II, III), only six teams have two players who average more yards rushing per game than do Mena and Dubose. Of those six combinations, only two are quarterback-running back duos. Stefphon Jefferson (175.4) and Cody Fajardo (102.6) of Division I Nevada average 278 yards per game on the ground, while Cody Getz (170.75) and Connor Dietz (64.25) of Division I Air Force average 235 yards.

TURNOVERS, TURNOVERS, TURNOVERS... Defensive coordinator Corey Shea has preached creating turnovers to his defense from the start of training camp on Aug. 18. Last Saturday against Hamline, Gustavus finished with a season-high five forced turnovers after recovering five Hamline fumbles. So far this year, the Gusties have recovered 14 fumbles and intercepted four passes for a league-high 18 turnovers. The Gusties currently rank fourth in the country in turnover margin at +2.50.

RIDE THE STORM OUT... Peter Haugen’s squad will need to be able to weather the storm against one of the fastest starting teams in the country on Saturday. Of St. Thomas’ 160 total points this season, 42 of which have been scored in the first quarter alone. The Tommies have outscored their opponents 42-17 in the opening frame. Gustavus has done an outstanding job limiting first quarter points so far this season, only allowing 10 total points in the opening quarter.

WHEN IN DOUBT, PUNT... Although he doesn’t meet the required national or league minimums, Gustavus punter Jordan Rudenick is still having a career year. Rudenikc has tallied 589 yards on 13 punts for an average of 45.3 yards per punt. He has boomed three over 50 yards and has down seven inside the 20-yard-line. Gustavus (44.5) and St. Thomas (42.9) rank first and second, respectively, in the league in punt average.

3RD AND 4TH DOWN... The Gustavus offense is currently ranked third in the MIAC in third down conversion percentage at 45-percent (23-51). On fourth down however, Gustavus ranks ninth in the league with a conversion rate of 33-percent (3-9).

BY THE NUMBERS... 2 - The number of sacks Gustavus has registered after a six-sack performance in week one against Simpson... 295.4 - The average weight in pounds per player of St. Thomas’ offensive line... 30 - The number of tackles Gustavus linebacker Matt Keller leads the team with... 36 - The league-leading amount of points running back Jeffrey Dubose has scored this season... 90.5 - St. Thomas wide receiver Dan Ferrzzo’s league-leading receiving yards per game average.

Head Coach Peter HaugenFourth Season12-22 at GustavusOffice: 507-933-7660Email: [email protected]

Peter Haugen, a native of Minneapolis and a 1991 graduate of Bethel University, is entering his fourth year as head football coach at Gustavus Adolphus College.

In his third year as head coach, Haugen led the Gusties to a 2-8 record overall and a 2-6 mark within the MIAC, finishing seventh in the league standings. In three seasons at the head of the Gustavus Adolphus football program, Haugen has compiled an overall record of 11-20 and an MIAC record of 8-16. Last season, Gustavus received three All-MIAC Second Team selections in junior offensive lineman Brian Grundmeyer (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.), senior defensive lineman Tom Einberger, Jr. (West St. Paul, Minn.), and senior defensive back Brad Kruckeberg (Ellendale, Minn.). Kruckeberg would later go on to earn CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team honors, while also being named the National Football Foundation’s winner of the Bob Stein College Scholar Athlete Award.

Haugen, who was the head football coach at Washburn High School for 15 years prior to coming to Gustavus, compiled an overall record of 111-44 during that span, while winning 11 league championships and posting a league record of 76-8. He directed the Millers to the Class AAAA quarterfinals in 2007 finishing with a mark of 9-3. In his last season as the Millers head coach, Haugen’s squad posted a mark of 8-2. While building the program at Washburn, Haugen increased player participation from 35 players in 1994 to 110 players. He also implemented academic monitoring and meal programs for student athletes as well as creating and directing the highly successful Washburn Athletic Leadership Academy. He served as the chair of the Minneapolis Football Conference this past year and he is an active clinician working at many local and regional clinics including the NIKE Coach of the Year clinic. Haugen was also a member of the Metro coaching staff for the Minnesota All-Star game in 1998. He started his coaching career at his alma mater serving as the offensive line coach during the 1992 and 1993 seasons.

A three-sport standout at Bethel, Haugen was a starting tight end on the football team, a starting goaltender on the hockey team, and a starting catcher on the baseball team in the late ‘80s and early 90s. In his senior year, he earned All-Conference honors in football, and was selected Most Valuable Player of the hockey team.

Haugen became the 17th head coach in the 95-year history of Gustavus football. The Golden Gusties have a long and storied football tradition that includes 22 MIAC titles. The program ranks in the top-50 all-time in Division III (out of 235 institutions) with a 58.3 winning percentage (464-328-21). The Gusties will soon join a very elite group of 40 NCAA Division III institutions whose football teams have won 500 games. Along with great teams, Gustavus has also been blessed with many outstanding individual players, which includes 29 players who have received All-America honors, 12 who have received CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, and five who have received NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Most recently, senior safety Brad Kruckeberg was awarded an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.

Peter, and his wife, Brenda live in St. Peter with their three children, Zeke (14), Zoe (12), and Zetta (6).

GAME 1 - SEPT. 8

GUSTAVUS 35SIMPSON 26

Indianola, Iowa (2,739)Bill Buxton Stadium77 degrees, Sunny

Indianola, Iowa – The Gustavus Adolphus football team kicked off its 2012 season with a 35-26 win over Simpson College on Saturday afternoon at Bill Buxton Stadium. Gustavus was able to capitalize on Simpson’s mistakes throughout the day, scoring two defensive touchdowns and forcing a total of five turnovers. Gustavus wins its first season-opener since 2008 and is now 1-0 for the first time in Head Coach Peter Haugen’s tenure. Simpson suffers its first loss of the year and is now 1-1. With Simpson leading 17-14 at the start of the second half, the momentum began to swing towards the Gustavus sideline following a booming 62-yard punt by Jordan Rudenick (Jr., Nicollet, Minn.) that was downed on the seven-yard-line. Three plays later on third-and-15 from the three-yard-line, defensive lineman Nolan Wester (Jr., Kettle River, Minn.) sacked quarterback Taylor Nelson in the endzone, forcing a fumble that was covered up by fellow defensive lineman Donte Green (Jr., Minneapolis, Minn.) for a touchdown. Following the extra point, Gustavus led 21-17 just five minutes into the quarter. The Gustie defense came up big again on Simpson’s following drive when cornerback Torey Asao (Jr., Chaska, Minn.) picked off a tipped pass and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown, extending Gustavus’ lead to 28-17. After the two teams traded possessions, Gustavus came up with its third turnover of the third quarter when defensive end Andrew Lonneman (So., Adrian, Minn.) sacked Nelson, forced him to fumble, and recovered the ball on the 15-yard line. The Gustavus offensive converted the turnover to points on the very next play when quarterback Muresuk Mena (Sr., Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) found tight end Rudenick on 15-yard catch-and-run touchdown. In the third quarter alone, Gustavus scored 21 unanswered points and forced three turnovers, leading by the score of 35-17 entering the final quarter. Rudenick’s touchdown capped Gustavus’ scoring for the afternoon. It would take Simpson until the 2:38 mark of the fourth quarter to get back on the scoreboard. Logan Klein hit a 30-yard field goal to make the score 35-20, and Nelson found wide receiver Taylor Rogers with a 15-yard touchdown to bring the score to a final at 35-26. The Simpson offense had a hard time getting back into rhythm in the second half – a credit to a relentless pass rush, tight coverage in the secondary, and play of the Gustavus punt team. The Gustie defense registered six sacks and intercepted two passes, while Jordan Rudenick stole the show in his first game as the full-time punter. Rudenick punted six times for 290 yards for an average of 48.3 yards per punt. He downed five punts inside the 20-yard line, three of which were downed inside the five-yard-line. Even when called upon to fill in for Rudenick at punter, Tom Huepenbecker (Sr. Middleton, Wis.) pinned a 34-yard punt inside the 15-yard line. Huepenbecker also finished 5-for-5 on extra point tries. The game began with Simpson taking a 3-0 lead after Klein knocked in a 29-yard field goal that capped a six-play, 30-yard drive After a punt and a blocked field goal attempt, Gustavus scored its first points of the 2012 season with 1:02 remaining in the first quarter. Muresuk Mena, who seemed to be dead in the water on fourth-and-two when his key target was covered, made a play with his feet, see-ing daylight downfield and taking the ball in for a 35-yard touchdown run that gave Gustavus a 7-3 advantage. Mena would tally two runs over thirty yards in the game, gaining a total of 73 yards on 13 carries for an average of 5.6 yards per rush. Simpson’s offense began to pick up some steam after the Mena score, answering

on the ensuing drive with a 63-yard touchdown pass from Nelson to Rogers, bringing the score to 17-7. Rogers was Nelson’s top target in the game, making a game-high eight catches for 187 yards with two touchdowns. Not to be outdone by Simpson’s big play, the Gusties responded right back on their next drive with a touchdown, cutting the lead to 17-14. On third-and-11 from the Gustavus 36-yard line, Mena opted to throw a screen pass to running back Jeffrey Dubose (Jr., St. Paul, Minn.). After catching the screen and turning up field, an opening appeared down field following two key blocks by offensive lineman Lyle Opdahl (Sr., Norwood Young America, Minn.) and David Gschneidner (Jr., Edina, Minn.). Dubose hit the crease and scampered 64 yards down the sideline, stiff-arming a Simpson defender at the five-yard-line on his way into the endzone. Dubose benefited from the solid play of Gustavus’ offensive line through-out the afternoon, running for 119 yards on 26 carries for an average of 4.6 yards per run. The final count saw Gustavus gain a total of 366 yards (211 rush, 155 pass). The Gusties had no turnovers and were 1-of-2 in the red-zone. Simpson racked up a total of 466 yards, 427 of which were through the air. Muresuk Mena played mistake free football in his first start under center, finishing 8-for-14 for 155 yards and two touchdowns through the air. His counterpart Taylor Nelson was 28-for-54 for 427 yards with three touchdowns and two intercep-tions. Gustavus was led defensively by safety Jake Forcier (So., Watkins, Minn.), who had a team-high seven tackles (all solo) and one interception. Andrew Lonneman finished with a game-high three sacks and three tackles for loss.

GAME 2 - SEPT. 15

AUGSBURG 26GUSTAVUS 24

St. Peter, Minn. (5,699)Hollingsworth Field75 degrees, Sunny

St. Peter, Minn. – The Gustavus football team suffered a heartbreaking 26-24 loss to Augsburg College on Saturday afternoon at Hollingsworth Field. With just :10 seconds remaining and Gustavus leading 24-20, Augsburg quarterback Ayrton Scott heaved a prayer towards the end zone. The ball came down into the hands of teammate Hakeem Bourne-McFarlane, who carried several Gusties across the goal line for the game-winning touchdown. Augsburg improves to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in the MIAC with the victory, while Gustavus is now 1-1 overall and 0-1 in the MIAC. If football fans attended today’s “St. Peter Day” game expecting big offensive numbers, they were certainly not disappointed in what they wittnessed. Augsburg totaled 475 yards (192 rush, 283 pass) and Gustavus racked up 438 yards (199 rush, 239 pass) for a combined 913 yards of total offense. The first quarter was nearly entirely consumed by two long drives by each team. Augsburg took the opening possession 67 yards on 12 plays, eating up 7:26 before missing a field goal from 30 yards out. Gustavus then capitalized on the next drive with a Tom Huepen-becker (Sr., Middleton, Wis.) 19-yard field goal (3-0) that capped a 15-play, 77-yard drive that took 7:14. It would take until the :13-second mark of the second quarter before points were put on the scoreboard again. Gustavus capitalized on a forced fumble by safety Beau Bachman (Jr., St. Peter, Minn.) that was recovered by linebacker Joe Haas (Jr., Mission, Kan.) at the Augs-burg 22-yard line. Quarterback Mursek Mena (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) found Michael Hintze (So., Brooklyn Park, Minn.) on a three-yard slant to put Gustavus on top 10-0. It was Hintze’s first career touchdown, as the sophomore would finish the game with 53 yards on five catches. Augsburg would take back the momentum on the ensuing kickoff and head into the locker room trailing 10-7. After catching the kick on the 18-yard line, Bourne McFarland reversed his field several times and dodged multiple tacklers before seeing daylight on the far sideline. Picking up a convoy of blockers, he took the ball 82 yards for the score. Gustavus’ offense gained a total of 179 yards of total offense in the first half, while the defense came up with two fumble recoveries and allowed 162 total yards. After Gustavus failed to score points inside the red-zone on the opening drive of the second half, Augsburg went 86 yards on six plays to score a touchdown and grab its first lead of the game at 14-10. Scott found tight end Adam Carl on a skinny post from 28 yards out for his first receiving touchdown of the afternoon. The Gusties answered on the next drive with a touchdown of their own, taking the lead back at 17-14 with 5:24 left in the third quarter. Mena connected with Phillip Butler (Jr., St. Paul, Minn.) on a bubble screen at the 12-yard line and the junior receiver leaped into the near corner of the end zone for his first touchdown of the year. On what looked like to be sure points in store for the Auggies on their next drive, sophomore safety Jake Forcier (Watkins, Minn.) came up with a key defensive play that kept Gustavus in control of the lead and the ball at the start of the fourth quarter. After Augsburg’s Carl was wrapped up following a short catch-and-run on the far sideline, Forcier ripped the ball from his hands at the ten-yard line and returned it to the Gustavus 21. The Auggies came up with a turnover of their own on the next drive when Kaleb Williams picked off Mena with 7:02 left in the game. Augsburg turned the interception into points five minutes later when Carl redeemed himself with his second touchdown catch of the

game, putting the Auggies up 20-17 after the extra point attempt was missed. Carl led all receivers in the game, making nine grads for 101 yards and two touchdowns. With 2:13 on the game clock, Muresuk Mena orchestrated a seven-play, 66-yard scoring drive that put Gustavus on top 24-20 with 1:04 left to play. For the second game in a row, Mena hooked up with Jeffrey Dubose (Jr., St. Paul, Minn.) on the touchdown pass, hitting his running back on a wheel route from the 19-yard line. The victory seemed all but sealed after Kellan Euerle (Jr., St. Cloud, Minn.) gave the Gustavus offense the ball back with :54 seconds on the clock after he picked off Scott on Gustavus’ 42-yard line. This, however, was not the case, as Augsburg gained the possession back on its own 20-yard line following a Gustavus punt. Scott then marched the Auggies 38 yards in :24 seconds before his Hail Mary hookup with Bourne-McFarlane. Both quarterbacks put their dual threat capabilities on full display at Hol-lingsworth Field this afternoon. Scott ran for 163 yards on 23 carries, and was 19-for-36 for 283 yards and three touchdowns through the air. His counterpart Mena ran for 80 yards on 21 carries, and was 19-for-27 for 239 yards with three touchdowns passing. Gustavus’ offensive line was once again superb, allowing just one sack and creating holes that led to 199 yards of rushing offense. Dubose finished with 70 yards on 14 carries, while Butler had 49 yards on six carries. Andre Creighton (Sr., St. Paul, Minn.) led the Gusties in receiving with 72 yards on six catches, three of which were key first down grabs. The Gustavus defense recovered three fumbles and picked off one pass, helping the team to win the turnover battle for the second-straight week. The defense also held the Auggies scoreless on three of their four red-zone chances. Forcier led the way with 10 tackles (4 solo, 6 asst.), while Zach Dilger (So., South St. Paul, Minn.), Matt Keller (So., Eagan, Minn.), and Anthony Boyce (So., Excelsior, Minn.) each had seven.

GAME 3 - SEPT. 22

GUSTAVUS 14ST. OLAF 17

Northfield, Minn. (6,219)Manitou Field51 degrees, Mostly Cloudy

Northfield, Minn. – Despite a gritty fourth quarter comeback, the Gustavus football team fell by the score of 17-14 to St. Olaf on Saturday afternoon at Manitou Field. After Gustavus cut lead to three points late in the fourth quarter, St. Olaf was able to hold on maintain posses-sion of the football until the final gun. Gustavus drops to 1-2 overall and 0-2 in the MIAC with the loss, while St. Olaf improves to 3-1 overall and 1-1 in the MIAC with the win. After forcing a turnover and a punt on St. Olaf’s first two possessions of the game, Gustavus failed to capitalize with the ball deep in St. Olaf territory. An interception by St. Olaf’s Jimmy Gildea at the 19-yard line shut down one drive, and three straight sacks by the Oles led to a turnover on downs on the next drive. St. Olaf capitalized on the ensuing possession when Dan Dobson went deep down the middle of the field to Stephen Asp for a 51-yard completion. Dobson took to the air on third-and-goal later in the drive, finding Jake Schmiesing on an out route from five yards out for the go-ahead touchdown (7-0). The Gustavus offense began to click at the start of the second quarter. Quarterback Muresuk Mena (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) broke free for a 21 and 27-yard run within the same drive to put Gustavus in the red-zone on the eight-yard-line. After running back Jeffrey Dubose (St. Paul, Minn.) took the ball down to the one-yard-line on a seven-yard carry, St. Olaf’s defense responded with a goal-line-stand that proved to be a major momentum shift in the game. The Oles stopped Gustavus on three-straight dives, preserving their 7-0 lead halfway through the second quarter. With a 7-0 edge following halftime, St. Olaf took advantage of another Gustavus miscue. After recovering a Mena fumble to Gustavus’ 26-yard-line, Dobson found Schmiesing once again – this time on a five-yard slant – for a touchdown to extend the lead to 14-0 with 11:08 left in the third quarter. Dobson finished the game 19-for-27 for 183 yards and two touchdowns passing. He found seven different receivers over the course of the day and rushed eight times for 50 yards. Stephen Asp was Dobson’s top target, bringing down three catches for a game-high 75 yards. After the Gustavus offense fumbled for the second-straight possession, the defense came up with big defensive stop on St. Olaf’s next drive when safety Jake Forcier (Watkins, Minn.) picked off Dobson at the Gustavus 27-yard-line. The Gusties used the momentum to cut the lead to 14-7 following an 11-play, 61-yard scoring drive. On third-and-goal from the four-yard-line, Mena was flushed out of the pocket after seeing that his key target was covered in the end zone. The senior eluded one tackle before scrambling free to the far sideline where he flanked the defense with speed and ran untouched across the goal line for the touchdown. Gustavus gashed the Oles with its run-ning game on the drive, throwing only one incomplete pass and picking up all 71 yards on the ground. Just when it looked as if Gustavus had turned a corner in the game, St. Olaf responded with its most important drive of the afternoon. Although the Oles settled for a 24-yard Lucas Walnman field goal (17-7), the 14-play drive lasted 8:32. With 4:58 left to play in the game, Gustavus brought the score to a final at 17-14 af-ter scoring a touchdown with less than three minutes on the clock. Once again, it was Muresuk Mena making a play with his feet. After seeing his hole collapse on a draw play on fourth-and-one, Mena decided to reverse his field and look for a opening on the far side the field. With

eight St. Olaf players in the box selling out on the inside run, Mena found daylight on the outside, hitting a lane with speed and galloping 58 yards for touchdown. The drive would be Gustavus’ last of the game, as the Oles picked up a pair of first downs on the final possession of the game. Although his squad threw for just 77 yards, Coach Haugen has confidence in his team’s running ability early in the season. “We have committed ourselves to keeping it simple and doing a few things exceptional in our rushing game. The guys who have the ball in their hands are dynamic; there is no question about that. With Muresuk near 200 yards and Jeffrey over 100, our ground game is right where it needs to be right now.” The senior quarterback turned in what was a historic day running the football. With 193 yards on 24 carries (8.0 ypc), Mena ranks 15th all-time on Gustavus’ single-game rushing list. He now holds the school record for most single-game rush-ing yards by a quarterback. With Dubose’ 114 yards on 18 carries (6.3 ypc), Gustavus ran for a total of 350 yards. Gustavus went 1-for-3 inside the red-zone, while St. Olaf capitalized on all three of its opportunities. The Black and Gold finished with 392 total yards compared to St. Olaf’ 323 yards.

GAME 4 - SEPT. 29

HAMLINE 0GUSTAVUS 37

St. Peter, Minn. (2,329)Hollingsworth Field78 degrees, Sunny

St. Peter, Minn. – The Gustavus Adolphus football team picked up its first MIAC vic-tory of the season on Hall of Fame Day at Hollingsworth Field with a 37-0 victory over Hamline University on Saturday afternoon. With a 10-0 lead at halftime, Gustavus’s ground game went work, scoring four rushing touchdowns in the second half and racking up a total of 283 yards in the game. Running back Jeffrey Dubose (Jr., St. Paul, Minn.) stole the show with four touchdowns and a season/game-high 131 yards on the ground. Gustavus improves to 2-2 overall and 1-2 in the MIAC with win, while Hamline drops to 1-3 overall and 0-3 in the MIAC. After forcing Hamline to a three-and-out on the first drive of the game, Gustavus capped off a 22-yard drive with a 29-yard field goal by Tom Huepenbecker (Sr., Middleton, Wis.) to take a 3-0 lead with 10:53 left in the first quarter. Huepenbecker’s field goal would be the only points of the opening quarter, as the two teams combined for 77 yards of total offense. At the start of the second quarter, Gustavus quarterback Muresuk Mena (Sr., Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) connected with fellow senior Andre Creighton (St. Paul, Minn.) on a 32-yard jump ball to give Gustavus first down and goal from the Hamline two-yard-line. Jeffrey Dobose plunged into the end zone on next play for his first touchdown of the day, extending Gustavus’s lead to 10-0 following the extra point with 12:04 left in the half. Hamline would move the ball into Gustavus territory twice over the remaining minutes of the quarter but could not put points on the board, as the two squads went into the break with Gustavus on top 10-0. Despite losing a fumble on the opening drive of the third quarter, Gustavus responded with a forced fumble of its own on Hamline’s next drive. Defensive end Zach Stackhouse (Sr., Houston, Minn.) forced the fumble at Gustavus’s 40-yard-line and defensive tackle Donte Green (Jr., Minneapolis, Minn.) recovered it at the 39 to swing the momentum back to Gustavus’s sideline. The Gustie offense used that momentum to grab a 17-0 lead (8:05) after Dubose ran untouched into the end zone from ten yards out behind a convoy of blockers on a sweep. Gustavus’s defense forced Hamline to fumble on its next two possessions. A Matt Keller (So., Eagan, Minn.) strip was recovered by Stackhouse with less than five minutes left in the quarter, and an Anthony Boyce (So., Excelsior, Minn.) forced fumble was recovered by Keller with less than two minutes on the clock. Dubose wasted no time putting the Gusties on top 23-0 with :45 seconds on the clock. Dobose ran the ball on all three plays of the drive before capping it off with a 13-yard touchdown run. Mena’s offense was in rhythm at the start of the fourth quarter, scoring on its next two drives to bring the score to a final at 37-0. Dubose crossed the goal line from the one-yard-line for the first score, and Mena scampered in from 17-yards out for the afternoon’s final touchdown. Gustavus picked up a total of 283 yards on the ground and 119 yards through the air for a total of 402 yards in the game. It is the second time this season that Gustavus has eclipsed the 400-yard mark. Mena and Dubose both went over 100 yards rushing for the second straight week. Mena ran for 116 yards on 15 attempts (7.7 ypc), while Dubose carried 25 times and averaged 5.2

yards per carry on the way to his third 100-yard rushing game of the season. Connect-ing with seven different receivers in the game, Mena went 7-for-16 for 82 yards with a touchdown and an interception through the air.
