No. 8 Football rolls past McDaniel

WESTMINSTER, Md. – The No. 8 Salisbury University football program traveled to McDaniel College Saturday afternoon, picking up a 62-7 win inside Kenneth R. Gill Stadium.

The Sea Gulls (2-0) opened the game with an 11-play drive, which included one fourth-down conversion, and ended with a Jadyn Thomas 12-yard touchdown run. The Green Terror (0-2) picked up one first down on their opening drive but were forced to punt after the SU defense settled in.

Salisbury posted another long drive with a nine-play drive ending in a Darrell Walter four-yard rushing touchdown. Patrick Sheil intercepted a pass on the ensuing McDaniel drive, giving the SU offense the ball back at the end of the first quarter of action with a 13-0 lead.

Andre Matthews started the drive with a 40-yard rush, setting up SU inside the red zone. Three plays later, SyRus McGowan found Dario Belizaire for a 19-yard passing touchdown.

With just under three minutes left before halftime, Walter found the endzone for the second time in the half. McDaniel was able to put together a 10-play drive before the half to get on the board. SU led 27-7 at the halftime break.

The Sea Gulls went on to score 35 points in the second half while holding the Green Terror scoreless. SU started the half with McGowan once again finding Belizaire for a 15-yard score. Thomas found his second score of the ball game while Malachi Dokes and Kyle Frank also found rushing touchdowns.
