Quarterback Zach Zulli passed for 469 yards and three scores while running for another. He set all-time NCAA Division II records by accounting for 56 touchdowns in a season and 336 points. He passed for 53 touchdowns, including 9 in one game. Indiana beat Shepard 27-17, losing a 14-7 halftime lead but coming back with 10 points in a row of their own to clinch it. It was not a game for passing as the teams combined to misfire on 30 of 38 passes and gain only 218 yards. The crimson Hawks won the ground battle, 203-154. They were the only team to rush for more than 110 against Shepherd this season. De’Antwan Williams rushed for 152 yards on 30 carries and scored a touchdown. Indianapolis handled Midwestern State of Texas, 31-14. The game was only 7-0 at the half and two touchdowns by Keidrick Jackson actually gave Midwestern a 7-14 lead. But Indy couldn’t be stopped after that. “They just started pounding us and it wore us out” said Bob Maskill, the Midwestern coach. Matt Ripp ran for 144 yards and two scores for the winners. West Texas A&M beat Chadron State 38-30 behind 235 yards rushing by tailback Khiry Robinson. The Buffs rushed for 311 yards and passed for 269 more but had to hold on to win. Dustin Vaughn passed for 269 yards and rushed for 72. Chadron had 331 yards passing. West Alabama crushed Miles 41-7, rolling up 578 yards. Gary Johnston rushed for 154 yards and passed for 90 more. West Alabama leads the nation in pass defense and was 4th in total defense. “Offensively we have hit our stride over the last few weeks and have been extremely efficient…We are a 60 minute team that’s going to pound you as the game wears on”, said Coach Will Hall. Lenoir Rhyne was a small college power back in the 50’s when people were starting to notice small college teams. They played for the NAIA title in 1959, 1960 and 1962 and won it the middle year. They are starting to make a name for themselves in this century with a 21-6 win over Fort Valley State. Isaiah Whitaker ran for 117 yards and two scores while Michael Green scored on a 100 yard interception return. Perennial power Northwest Missouri had little trouble disposing of Harding, 35-0. Harding rushed for 304 yards but never dented the end zone. NWM was without it’s top two running backs but third string back Billy Creason became the first player to run for 100+ yards on Harding all season with 113 on 18 carries. The more balanced Bearcats got 212 yards passing and led 21-0 at the half. In an amazing game, Missouri Western beat Minnesota Duluth, the 2008 and 2010 champs, 57-55 in three overtimes by surviving a two point conversion attempt. Chase Vogler, who had passed for 195 yards and run for 184 more for Duluth, tripped after taking the snap and went down in a very frustrated heap. The (MW) Griffons took a 14-3 first quarter lead, fell behind 14-20, took the lead back at 21-20, fell behind 21-28, tied it, fell behind again at 28-35 and tied it again at 35 to send it in to OT. It was that type of game. Travis Partridge passed for three scores and ran for four more for the winners. [/QUOTE]
