MICHIGAN
The 19th-ranked Wayne State Warriors suffered a 45-20 loss at No. 32-Northern Michigan in the Superior Dome. The Warriors were going against a Wildcat defense ranked fifth nationally in scoring defense (11.80 points per game) and 20th in rushing defense (92.60 yards per game). WSU was able to put 20 points on the board and senior Joique Bell rushed for 108 yards and three touchdowns. After WSU missed on a 34-yard field goal attempt on the game’s opening drive, NMU went three-and-out but freshman quarterback Mickey Mohner was sacked on third down with NMU recovering a fumble inside the WSU 10. A personal foul on the Wildcats backed them up, but Rockne Belmonte made a 24-yard field goal. Following a WSU punt, Northern went 54 yards in six plays with Mark Bossuah scoring on a one-yard run. Midway through the second period, NMU went 81 yards in four plays with Antonio Wallace scoring on a 55-yard run. On WSU’s first play following the kickoff, Bell rushed left for four yards to surpass the 7,000 all-purpose yard mark. Later in the drive on a third-and-one from the NMU 4, Bell scored WSU’s first TD of the game. The Wildcats’ Zach Nichols caught an eight-yard scoring toss with 10 seconds left before intermission to make it 24-7.

The Warriors are 15-15 at home under Winters and have won eight of the last 10 contests at Adams Field. Ferris State’s Jeff Pierce has compiled a 91-70 record in his 15th year with the Bulldogs. ¶ ALL-TIME SERIES WSU trails 24-21 in the all-time series which began in 1920. The Warriors are 12-13 at home against the Bulldogs. ¶ SCOUTING FERRIS STATE The Bulldogs have lost six in a row since a season-opening win (34-14) over Tiffin.

Nick Butler leads the FSU defense with 64 tackles (22-42) including a sack and a fumble recovery.
¶ STRICTLY BY THE NUMBERS Bell rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns at NMU. It was Bell’s 10th straight 100-yard game and 31st of his career.

MICHIGAN
The 19th-ranked Wayne State Warriors suffered a 45-20 loss at No. 32-Northern Michigan in the Superior Dome. The Warriors were going against a Wildcat defense ranked fifth nationally in scoring defense (11.80 points per game) and 20th in rushing defense (92.60 yards per game). WSU was able to put 20 points on the board and senior Joique Bell rushed for 108 yards and three touchdowns. After WSU missed on a 34-yard field goal attempt on the game’s opening drive, NMU went three-and-out but freshman quarterback Mickey Mohner was sacked on third down with NMU recovering a fumble inside the WSU 10. A personal foul on the Wildcats backed them up, but Rockne Belmonte made a 24-yard field goal. Following a WSU punt, Northern went 54 yards in six plays with Mark Bossuah scoring on a one-yard run. Midway through the second period, NMU went 81 yards in four plays with Antonio Wallace scoring on a 55-yard run. On WSU’s first play following the kickoff, Bell rushed left for four yards to surpass the 7,000 all-purpose yard mark. Later in the drive on a third-and-one from the NMU 4, Bell scored WSU’s first TD of the game. The Wildcats’ Zach Nichols caught an eight-yard scoring toss with 10 seconds left before intermission to make it 24-7.

¶ ON THE HEADSET Wayne State’s Paul Winters has a 26-34 mark in his sixth year with the Warriors. WSU is 13-5 in its last 18 games. The Warriors are 15-15 at home under Winters and have won eight of the last 10 contests at Adams Field. Ferris State’s Jeff Pierce has compiled a 91-70 record in his 15th year with the Bulldogs. ¶ ALL-TIME SERIES WSU trails 24-21 in the all-time series which began in 1920. The Warriors are 12-13 at home against the Bulldogs. ¶ SCOUTING FERRIS STATE The Bulldogs have lost six in a row since a season-opening win (34-14) over Tiffin.

Nick Butler leads the FSU defense with 64 tackles (22-42) including a sack and a fumble recovery.
¶ STRICTLY BY THE NUMBERS Bell rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns at NMU. It was Bell’s 10th straight 100-yard game and 31st of his career.

Game Notes: Wayne State moved into a second-place tie in the GLIAC standings with a 38-8 victory at Tiffin ... the Warrior offense started strong going 76 yards in nine plays following the opening kickoff with Mickey Mohner tossing a 19-yard scoring strike on third-and-16 to Troy Burrell ... WSU increased its lead on its next possession as it took over at the Tiffin 36 following Stan Thornton’s 12th career interception and 46 yard return ... six carries by Joique Bell netted 41 yards and his 73rd career touchdown ... after TU’s lone score, WSU answered with a 12-play, 60-yard drive with Bell scoring his second touchdown of the game ... on the touchdown run, Bell became WSU’s all-time leader in career rushing attempts with 997 passing Hall of Famer Joe Gough (1991-94) ... Kenny Watson blocked a 34yard field goal attempt and Thornton went 73 yards for his fifth career touchdown.
Game Notes: The No. 22 Warriors improved to 5-1 for the first time since 1976 with a comefrom-behind win in the Homecoming contest ... trailing 33-20 at halftime and having allowed 323 yards of total offense to the Eagles, the WSU defense held the visitors scoreless in the third quarter while the offense put up 13 points ... in the fourth period, Myles McNichols forced an AU fumble in WSU territory that was recovered by Matt Shango ... two Joique Bell runs accounted for 53 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown which broke the school record for rushing touchdowns in a game (5) ... after AU tied the game, Mickey Mohner found Bell in the middle of the field and after a few moves around three AU defenders, Bell had his school-record
sixth touchdown of the game ... AU had 25 seconds remaining and the ball at their own 34 following the kickoff ... Billy Cundiff had back-to-back completions for a total of 26 yards, followed by a 9-yard completion to Dawon Harvey, who was tackled at the WSU 31 with three seconds left ... Cundiff’s deep pass in the end zone was incomplete.
Game Notes: The 19th-ranked Wayne
State Warriors suffered a 45-20 loss at Northern Michigan ... WSU was going against a Wildcat defense ranked fifth nationally in scoring defense (11.80 points per game) and 20th in rushing defense (92.60 yards per game). WSU was able to put 20 points on the board and Joique Bell rushed for 108 yards and three touchdowns ... NMU turned four WSU turnovers into 24 points ... the three shortest scoring drives this season against the Warrior defense came in this game ... After NMU went ahead 17-0, Bell rushed for four yards to suprass the 7,000 all-purpose yard mark ... Bell finished with 149 all-purpose yards plus a 68-yard completion to Travis Campbell.
