No. 10-ranked Tommie Football rolled up 651 yards of offense en route to a 63-0 win over Carleton in the MIAC opener Saturday in Northfield.

Tucker Trettel rushed five times for 88 yards, and Jordan Roberts rushed for 77 yards and had his 23rd and 24th touchdowns in 20 games with the Tommies. Receivers Luke Iverson, Vinny Pallini and Gabe Green combined to catch 13 passes for 235 yards and one TD each.

UST led 49-0 at halftime and played its starters just one series each on offense and defense in the second half.
For the UST defense, Adam Kraft, Austin Lorch, Isaac Seering and Tobias Knight had interceptions, and George Hottinger recovered a fumble.
