Hope springs eternal for Football in 27-7 win over Foxes
10/30/2021 5:12:00 PM | Football
Sophomore running back Hope Adebayo rushed for 191 yards on 27 carries, including touchdown runs of 30 and 28 yards, as St. Thomas pulled away to a 27-7 win over Marist College in Pioneer Football League play Saturday at O'Shaughnessy Stadium in St. Paul.
The Tommies (5-2 overall, 4-1 Pioneer) ran their win streak to three and stayed in the conference title race with three games to play. Four Pioneer teams are within one game of the lead.
Davidson (5-0 Pioneer) handed Morehead State its first Pioneer loss earlier on Saturday, and San Diego (5-1 Pioneer) rallied to edge Valparaiso. The Tommies play next Saturday at Davidson.
Luke Glenna had an interception and a fumble recovery to lead a revved up Tommie defense. St. Thomas stopped Marist inside the five-yard line twice on fourth-down tries. Overall, they allowed just 11 first downs and 167 total yards, with three takeaways and two sacks among six tackles for loss.
The Red Foxes of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., (3-4, 3-2) converted just 3-of-14 on third- and fourth downs in the contest. They also were hurt by eight penalties for 55 yards.
Marist's lone TD came on the first play of the second quarter after one of several special-teams errors by the Toms in the first half. A high snap that sailed over the punter was recovered and turned over on downs at the Marist 2-yard-line, QB Austin Day ran it end to the end zone on the next play. The PAT kick made it 13-7.
St. Thomas had a blocked punt; a missed field goal; and a missed PAT conversion, in large part due to a high snap. But St. Thomas' defense pitched a shutout over the final 44:57 on the clock.
Max Zimmerman caught a 51-yard touchdown pass off a flea flicker strike from QB Cade Sexauer to start the scoring. Adebayo made it 13-0 with a 30-yard gallop in the first quarter. Adebayo now has 373 yards and six touchdown runs over his first two college starts.
The Tommie offense churned out 393 yards. Sexauer threw for 139 yards and rushed for 34 yards.
