WALSH: Walsh (2-5, 2-5) snapped a fivegame losing streak with a 35-13 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference win over rival Malone University last Saturday night at Fawcett Stadium. The win was Walsh’s sixth straight over their crosstown rival and keeps the Bankert/Gallagher Trophy at Walsh. MOTOR CITY: Walsh heads to Detroit, Michigan for their first GLIAC meeting with Wayne State University (3-4, 2-4) at Tom Adams Field on Saturday at noon. CAVS CONTROL: Walsh played perhaps its finest game of the season in halting a fivegame skid and defeating rival Malone. The Cavs controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and completely dominated the Pioneers. QUARTER NUMBER TWO: Despite holding the football for over 10 minutes in the first period, the Cavs could not dent the scoreboard. The second period would see Walsh control the football for 11:45, and score 21 points to boot. Jerald Robinson caught two TD passes and Justin Keith scored from oneyard out as Walsh built a 21-0 halftime lead. ROBINSON STRIKES: Robinson caught touchdown passes of 27 and 33 yards. Kempe connected with Jerald for the first strike, 1:20 into the quarter. After Keith scored with 1:50 left in the half, Walsh forced a quick three-and -out and scored again when wide receiver Blake Williams threw a perfect pass to Robinson on an option play with six seconds left to give Walsh the three-score halftime lead. QUICK STRIKE: CJ Chatman then stunned Malone when he returned the second half kick -off 100 plus yards for a TD. The score gave Walsh 21 points in a span of 2:05 dating back to the end of the first half. GORDON GETS NUMBER ONE: Freshman Kalvin Gordon then scored his first collegiate touchdown to cap the scoring. Gordon set his TD scamper up with a 44-yard run. GROUND GAME SETS TONE: Walsh rushed for 272 yards, averaging 4.9 yards per rush. Aaron Male led the charge with 82 yards, Gordon tallied 78, Keith 62 and Luke Lloyd 41. DEFENSE FOILS RUN, AND PASS: Walsh’s defense limited Malone to 80 yards on the ground and 142 through the air. The Cavs limited Malone to 11 first downs and 51 plays from scrimmage. Walsh ran 78 plays, totaled 24 first downs and held the ball 37 minutes. DEFENSIVE STANDOUTS: The Cavs recorded four sacks and 11 tackles for a loss, led by Cameron Trudell’s eight tackles and three for a loss. Braily Blair had eight tackles and Chad Phillis had seven tackles, two sacks and 2.5 tackles for a loss. KEMPE REBOUNDS: After struggling in his first start against Findlay, Paul Kempe made the most of his second start against Malone. Kempe completed 14 of 22 passes for 130 yards and one TD and did a superb job of managing the game. GLIAC LEADERS: Jamaris Brown is first in kick return average (28.3), ninth with two interceptions and 10th in pass break-ups with five. Cameron Trudell is 10th in tackles (55). Tim Carter is third in punting (38.3). Brody Tonn is ninth in passing yards per game (208.6) and is tied for eighth in TD passes with eight. PRESEASON GLIAC POLL: In the preseason GLIAC Poll Walsh tied with No. 4 Lake Erie but is listed fifth as ties were broken using the 2013 order of finish. Wayne State was picked sixth in the North Division. WALSH UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL Walsh University Football Game Notes Game 8 (A) Wayne State page 2 SERIES: This is the first meeting between the two teams. Michael Johnson led all receivers with 116 yards. HOW THEY CONNECT: Walsh and Wayne State have a connection through former Walsh Football Coach Jim Dennison. Wayne State Head Coach Paul Winters was a running back for Dennison at the University of Akron, and gained 1,298 yards in 1979. Wayne State Athletic Director Rob Fournier was the assistant to Dennison at Akron. Nores Fradi had a game-high 3.5 tackles for a loss as did Anthony DeDamos to pace the Warrior defense. Brandon Lee totaled a gamebest nine tackles (6-3), which included two for a loss. And, Fournier and Jim Clark, Walsh’s SID and play-by-play man, were broadcast partners for Akron Football in 1978 and 1980. Wayne State defensive back Ron Brant’s dad, Ron, was a running back for Dennison at Akron from 1981-84. WAYNE STATE: Wayne State suffered its third consecutive setback, 33-30, on a field goal in the final 30 seconds at Northern Michigan University last Saturday afternoon in the Superior Dome. The Warriors led 7-3 after one quarter, 20-10 at halftime, but trailed 24-23 after three quarters. WSU took a 30-27 lead with 6:18 to play when Michael Johnson scored on a nine-yard pass on a third-and-seven play. A previous catch for 30 yards put Johnson over the 100-yard receiving mark for the second time this season. NMU then knotted the game at 30 on a 26yard field goal, which was set-up by an 84yard kickoff return. Wayne State drove into NMU territory, but a fake punt on fourth down was incomplete leading to a 12-play Wildcat drive concluding with the game-winning 24-yard field goal. WSU's second down pass attempt went off the hands of a Warrior receiver into the hands of an NMU linebacker to end any hopes of a game-winning drive. Desmond Martin finished with a game-high 135 yards and a touchdown. Carl Roscoe was 14-of-30 for 241 yards and two touchdowns along with two interceptions. GLIAC LEADERS: Desmond Martin is second in rushing average per game at 125.4, and with nine touchdowns. He is fifth in scoring with 55 points. Martin had rushed for 100 yards in a single game four times, with a season-high 235 yards in WSU’s 41-31 win over Carson-Newman. He also rushed for 200 yards in their GLIAC win over Malone. Quarterback Carl Roscoe is 10th in passing yards per game with 169.1. Wide receiver Michael Johnson is eighth in receiving yards per game (71.6) and 10th with 31 receptions. He has caught at least four passes in six of seven games, and caught six each vs. Malone and Grand Valley. Place kicking specialist Paul Graham is a conference best 9-9 in field goal attempts and 23-23 in extra points. He is eighth in scoring with 50 points. The WSU return game has Val Showers sixth in kick-off returns (26.7) and Ron Brant third in punt returns (7.9). Gerren DuHart is second in pass break-ups (8) and Jamiil Williams is fifth (6).
