Raiders hold Blue Streaks to minus two total yards in shutout win
Mount Union defeated John Carroll 53-0 before
3,312 fans at Don Shula Stadium in University Heights Saturday, clinching the Ohio Athletic Conference championship for the 16th straight
season. It is the 19th conference football championship overall for
the Purple Raiders, with the first coming in 1985.
Mount Union was
dominant defensively, holding the Blue Streaks to minus 47 rushing yards and
minus two total yards for the contest. It is the first time in my
memory that a team finished an entire game with negative total yardage, at
any level.
The shutout
marked the fifth consecutive game the Raiders have not allowed an opponent to score and the
sixth overall this season, tying the Division III mark for shutouts in a
season, set originally by Mount Union in 2003. The Purple & White's
first team defense has allowed just a field goal all year.
Mount Union
ranked number one nationally entering the game in total offense, total
defense, scoring offense and scoring defense, and did nothing to diminish
those numbers against John Carroll, scoring on its first six possessions,
and limiting the Streaks to two offensive snaps in Raider territory in the
entire game.
One of those
plays came late in the second quarter, the other in the third. Both
resulted in sacks back into Blue Streak territory, one for a loss of 12
yards, the other a loss of five, two of the eight Purple & White sacks in
contest.
Meanwhile, Mount
Union's offense racked up 543 total yards. The Raiders had 26 first
down, to four for John Carroll, scored on all seven trips into the redzone,
converted on seven of 16 third downs and four of five fourth downs, while
the Streaks were zero for 11 on third down and missed on its only fourth
down try.
The stats don't
lie in this one. Mount Union was dominant in every phase of the game.
The Raiders even won the turnover battle two to one and are now plus 12
heading into week 10.
The Purple &
White scored on its first possession for the eighth time in nine games when
Nate Kmic galloped 35 yards for a score on the third snap from scrimmage.
Kmic finished with 98 yards on 18 carries and scored two more times on runs
of three and one yards in the second quarter.
The junior
running back also moved into second place in the OAC in career rushing yards
and is now just 193 yards behind Marietta's Kenneth Sasu for first all-time,
who ran for 4,727 yards from 1997 to 2000.
Greg Micheli
threw for two touchdowns and ran for another in completing 19 of 25 passes
for 308 yards and no interceptions. The rushing score, from four-yards
out late in the first period, made it 17-0. The touchdown passes went
to Pierre Garcon, covering 65 yards, and Chad Reynolds, for four yards.
Garcon led all
receivers with seven catches for 103 yards. His touchdown was the 40th
of his career at Mount Union, tying him with Adam Marino for the Purple
Raider career record. He is now just three shy of the OAC mark of 43,
currently held by Ohio Northern's Steve Vagedes from 1996-1999.
Another
record-setter in the game was Mike Zimmerman. He was perfect, kicking
three field goals, from 24, 34 and 19 yards, and making all six extra point
attempts. He has now been successful on 104 consecutive point after
tries, breaking the mark of 102 held by Coe's Rims Roof (1983-85).
Mount Union also
recorded a safety when John Carroll quarterback Mark Petruziello was called
for intentional grounding while in the endzone.
Defensively, the
Raiders were led by Matt Rees' 11 tackles, fumble recovery and two sacks. Pat
McCullough had six tackles and one and a half sacks, while Matt Williamson
recorded two sacks, and Troy Chaffin and Joseph Millings had one apiece, and
Jonathan Andrews was credited with half a sack. Matt Kostelnik
recorded his 10th career interception.
Mount Union's
first-team defense has allowed just a field goal all season. The
Raiders have not allowed a point in 22 quarters and a touchdown in 28
quarters of play.
The Purple &
White
improve to 9-0 on the season and 8-0 in conference play. Next week the
Raiders host Marietta at Mount Union Stadium with a perfect
regular season on the line. Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. from Mount
Union Stadium. The Pioneers enter the contest
3-6 overall and 3-5 in
the OAC.
Last year Mount
Union beat Marietta 45-17, and have won 27 straight in the
series dating back to the Pioneers last victory in 1977. Overall, the
Purple Raiders own a 36-8-1 lead in the series.
