Game Notes

• USF closes out its 2017 campaign by hosting Trinity International in a Mid-States Football Association Midwest League matchup. The Saints have a chance to share the league title with a win and a Saint Xavier loss to Robert Morris Illinois.

• Today, we will honor the 13 senior members of the USF football team as a part of the program's annual senior day celebration.

• USF forced five turnovers and scored 14 points in the final 2:22 in a 28-18 victory over Robert Morris last Saturday. The Eagles took their first lead since early in the first quarter on a Jalen Smith 11-yard touchdown pass from Kenyatte Allen with 5:56 remaining in the contest. The Saints bounced back on their next drive, taking the advantage back on an 11-yard scoring strike from Aaron Ellis to Lexus Jackson with 2:22 remaining. RMU looked to engineer the game-winning drive, but USF's defense came up big. Alex Zlomie and Tariq Thurman combined on a sack and then Arthur King recorded his third pick-six of the year to seal the game.

• Trinity International comes into today's matchup 2-7 on the season and 1-3 in MSFA Midwest League play. After opening up its season with a convincing 58-21 win over Wisconsin Lutheran, TIU fell into a six-game losing streak before getting back in the win column against Robert Morris (34-28 in overtime). Since defeating the Eagles, the Trojans have dropped contests to Missouri Baptist and St. Ambrose.

• The Trojans beat the Saints for the first time since 2014 last season, 35-33 in Deerfield. USF's game-winning field goal attempt in the final seconds was blocked. Trinity International scored 21 unanswered points to go ahead 28-13, but the Saints rallied with 13 of their own to pull within two. After the team traded scores late, TIU sealed the victory with the blocked field goal.

• After scoring just one non-offensive touchdown in the first four games of the season, the Saints have totaled five in their last five games, including three interception return touchdowns from Arthur King. King's 97-yard pick-six on October 21 is the longest play in school history. Other defensive touchdowns this year include Alex Zlomie's 50-yard interception return and Josh Woodard's 92-yard fumble return. Lexus Jackson accounted for the only special teams TD of the fall with a 56-yard punt return against Missouri S&T.

• USF receiving milestones continue to fall this season. With 80 yards last week, Lexus Jackson became USF's first 2,000-yard receiver. One more record is in jeopardy today as Jackson and Brandon Ruffin chase down USF's all-time receiving touchdowns mark. Ruffin is tied with the record of 20 reception scores set in by Troy Torrence in 2014, while Jackson sits with 19 in his career.

• Turnover margin has been a key statistic for the Saints this season. During the three-game losing streak to open the campaign, USF checked in at minus-5. However, in its last six games, the team has gone 4-2 and has a plus-12 margin. Last week, the Saints forced a season-high five turnovers, while only giving the ball away once.

• Lexus Jackson was featured on SportsCenter's "Small Schools Big Plays" segment on October 8 for his 75-yard touchdown run against Missouri S&T. On the play, Jackson was hit behind the line, but reversed field, found a crease and turned on the speed, outracing the defense to the end zone.

• Joe Curry is currently in his sixth season as the Saints' head coach and holds a career record of 34-30 (.532). The 2015 MSFA Midwest League Coach of the Year, he has led USF to winning records in three of his first five campaigns. Curry is in his 17th year of association with the USF football program as a head coach (2012 to present), assistant coach (2001, 2005-11) or player (1998-2000).

• In eight games (six starts) this season, quarterback Aaron Ellis has thrown for 1,569 yards, 18 touchdowns and four interceptions. Ellis currently ranks third in the MSFA and seventh in the nation in passing efficiency (172.7).

• Senior Arthur King had one of the biggest games of his career last week, returning one of his two interceptions for a touchdown and breaking up two more passes. King currently ranks sixth in the nation in passes defended per game (16 in nine games). Two of those have gone for touchdowns (97 and 39-yard returns).

• As just a freshman, Antonio Lemon has led the Saints in tackles in three of the last four weeks, including his third double-digit performance last week.

• Alex Zlomie has also been a key contributor to the USF defense this season. The junior leads the team with 5.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles. He added a 50-yard interception return touchdown on October 28.

• Luke Nelson continues to be one of the best punters in the NAIA. This season, he ranks third in the nation with 42.7 yards per punt. Earlier this year, he sent the longest boot of his career, a 70 yarder.

2017 USF FOOTBALL NOTESGame #10: St. Francis vs. Trinity International

Last Time They Met

TRINITY INTERNATIONAL 35, USF 33

Oct. 29, 2016Deerfield, Ill.

A blocked field goal attempt with eight seconds left in the game preserved Trinity International's 35-33 win over St. Francis in MSFA Midwest League play Saturday at TIU's Leslie Frazier Field.

Down 35-33, USF started its final drive at its own 22-yard line with 4:29 remaining in the game. With backup quarterback sophomore Alex Alarcon engineering the offense, the Saints advanced to the Trojans' 14-yard line on 12 plays to set up the potential game-winning field goal. But TIU's Riley Schussler blocked the kick and teammate Jarell Carter recovered.

Trailing for all but a four-minute stretch during the second quarter, USF entered the final stanza down 28-19. An Alarcon 1-yard plunge on the Saints' first possession of the quarter made it a 28-26 game, but J.J. Burmeister connected with Rafael Williams for a 65-yard touchdown pass on the Trojans' next play from scrimmage to give TIU a 35-26 lead. USF then went 75 yards on 12 plays, capped by a 10-yard scoring strike from Alarcon to freshman Re'John Williams midway through the quarter to account for the game's final scoring.

Trinity International took the lead on the fourth play of the game when Kelvin Acosta recovered a USF fumble and sprinted 47 yards for a touchdown. A pair of Grayson Barnette field goals – a 25-yarder and a 38-yard effort – cut the Trojans' lead to 7-6.

USF took its only lead of the game, 13-7, when defensive end Alex Zlomie entered the game in the backfield and scored his first career touchdown on a 2-yard run with just under five minutes left in the second quarter. A 9-yard touchdown pass from Burmeister to Zach Chesser put the Trojans back on top 14-13 with 10 seconds left in the half.

TIU scored a pair of touchdowns five minutes apart in the third quarter to increase its lead to 28-13. USF scored its only points of the quarter when Alarcon found sophomore Brandon Ruffin in the corner of the end zone from 31 yards out.

Alarcon, who entered the game in the second quarter in relief of junior starter Don Butkus, completed 17 of 24 attempts for 209 yards and two TDs. Ruffin caught five passes for 114 yards and one score. Freshman Michael Johnson rushed for 110 yards on 17 carries.
