THE SERIES: Saturday’s game marks the seventh all-time meeting between the Gustavus and UW-Stout football programs with the Gusties holding a 4-2 advantage in the series. The last meeting be-tween the two teams was last season on Sept. 8, when the Blue Devils rallied late and eventually took down the Gusties in overtime. Gustavus took a 10-0 lead into the half and extended the lead to 17-0 in the third quarter before Stout rallied to score 17 straight and send the game to overtime. Stout scored in five plays on their opening possession to go up 24-17 before the Gusties scored on their opening play to bring the score to 24-23. However, the extra point was missed and the Blue Devils took the contest. 

LAST TIME OUT: The Gustavus football team opened its season on Saturday afternoon with a decisive 50-19 victory over Martin Luther College. For the second year in a row the Knights were able to strike first, but a first half offensive outburst pushed the Gusties through.

After falling behind 6-0 to start the contest the Gusties put up 36 straight points before the half thanks to a balanced attacked to all but put the game away. Michael Veldman was 18-of-27 in the contest for 353 yards with three passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. David Peal and Dalton Thelen led the ground attack with 48 and 42 yards respectively. Brice Panning caught six passes for 118 yards and three touchdowns while Josh Kirk had six catches for 119 yards.

On the defensive side of the ball Kaleb Scott and Jake Krull both recorded an interception in the con-test. Zach Jakes led the team with eight tackles, while Ezekiel Sundberg had seven.

GAME NOTES

SCOUTING THE GUSTIESLast week Gustavus took down Martin Luther 50-19 in its season opener. The Knights were able to score first after the punt on their opening drive hit a Gustie and set them up in good field position for the first touchdown of the game. The rest of the half however, was all Gusties as they scored 36 straight points to lead into the break 36-6.

The Knights were able to score again in the third quarter to bring the Gustie lead to 36-12 but two more touchdowns for Gustavus in the fourth would seal the deal. The Knights would score late with time winding down to bring the final to 50-19.

Michael Veldman (Sr., Becker, Minn.) was solid in his 2019 debut going 18-of-27 with 353 yards passing and three touchdowns. David Peal (So., Worchester, Mass.) had a solid day out of the backfield for the Gusties with 48 yards rush-ing and two touchdowns as well as 69 yards receiving. Brice Panning (Sr., Hamburg, Minn.) had six catches for 118 yards and three touchdowns while Josh Kirk (Sr., Garvin, Minn.) had six catches for 119 yards.

On defense, Zach Jakes (So., Mankato, Minn.) led the team with eight tackles while Ezekiel Sundberg (So., Lakewood, Colo.) had seven. Jake Krull (Sr., Plymouth, Minn.) and Kaleb Scott (Jr., Gardena, Calif.) each had an interception while  Nicolas Negron (So., Garland, Texas) recovered a fum-ble for a touchdown.

SCOUTING THE BLUE DEVILSUW-Stout enters the game most recently dropping a 14-7 contest to Saint John’s Saturday. The Blue Devils scored first and held the Johnnies scoreless to lead 7-0 at halftime but couldn’t put a complete drive together as Saint John’s shut them out the second half and scored twice in the third quar-ter to take the victory.

Offensively Sean Borgerding was 13-of-26 for 136 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. Josh Nitek led the ground game with eight carries for 25 yards. Levy Hamer had three catches for 48 yards while Tyler Seymour had three catches for 30 yards and a touchdown.

Last season, the Johnnies averaged 491.8 yards per game last season, were held in check by the Stout defense who allowed just 301 yards of total offense in the contest. The Blue Devils also picked off reigning d3football.com Player of the Year Jackson Erdmann twice and recorded three sacks in the contest.

2019 GAME RECAPS

SAINT PETER, Minn. – The Gustavus football team opened its season on Saturday afternoon with a decisive 50-19 victory over Martin Luther College. For the second year in a row the Knights were able to strike first, but a first half offensive outburst pushed the Gusties through.

“It was a good offensive effort,” said Head Coach Peter Haugen. “There were a couple spots where we got discombobulated and didn’t execute the way that we wanted too, but for the most part I loved what we did. Defensively, against their offense you have to be really dis-ciplined and that’s something early that we had to tighten up. Our defense did a really nice job and turned the ball over and that’s fun to see. The statistics are are staggering when you win the turnover battle and we know it’s really important. Our coaches did a nice job getting these guys ready to go and I can’t give our players enough credit for their efforts. Thankful for the win and proud of our guys, certainly plenty of things we’ll have to get better with but that’s how it is every week.”

Martin Luther received the opening kickoff and the Gusties were able to get a stop, however, the ensuing punt hit a Gustavus player in the foot and the Knights were able to recover. Mar-tin Luther then ran seven plays, including a big fourth down conversion before they punched in an eight yard rush to score the first points of the game. The Knights missed the extra point to make the score 6-0.

Gustavus was quick to respond though when Josh Kirk (Sr., Garvin, Minn.) returned the en-suing kickoff 81 yards to the Martin Luther 15-yard line to set the Gusties up in good field position. It didn’t take long for the duo of Michael Veldman (Sr., Becker, Minn.) and Brice Panning (Sr., Hamburg, Minn.) to find their groove as Veldman found Panning for a 15 yard touchdown on the first play of the drive. Kirk then caught a pass from Veldman to give the Gusties a 8-6 lead.

Martin Luther got two first downs on their next drive before the Gusties got a stop and forced a punt. A 64-yard pass from Veldman to Kirk got the Gusties to the one yard line before Veldman ran it in himself on the next play to push the score to 14-6. Another successful two point conversion put the Gusties up 10.

Quarter number two was all Gustavus as they were able to extend their lead before half. To start the quarter the Gusties put together a long drive, with Panning notching his second touchdown of the game before the extra point put the Gusties up 23-6. Midway through the second quarter, Veldman connected with David Peal (So., Worchester, Mass.) for a 56 yard completion to the two yard line before Peal plowed one in from two yards out for his first score of the season and to make the score 29-6. On Gustavus’ next possession Veldman connected with Kirk for 36 yards before finding Panning once again for his third touchdown of the game to put the Gusties up 36-6 after the PAT, a score they would hold into halftime

The third quarter was slow with Martin Luther eating a large chunk of the clock with a 17-play drive resulting in their second touchdown of the game to bring the score to 36-12.The Gusties responded quickly though, scoring early in the fourth quarter on another Peal run from six yards out to go up 43-12. Gustavus’s defense was then able to score a touchdown as a Lucas

Oleson (So., South St. Paul, Minn.) sack forced a fumble that was recovered by Nicolas Negron (So., Garland, Texas) for a touchdown.

The Knights would score on their final possession of the game before the Gusties ran out the clock for the 50-19 victory.

Veldman was 18-of-27 in the contest for 353 yards with three passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. Peal and Dalton Thelen (So., Cold Spring, Minn.) led the ground attack with 48 and 42 yards respectively. Panning caught six passes for 118 yards and three touch-downs while Kirk had six catches for 119 yards.

On the defensive side of the ball Kaleb Scott (Jr., Gardena, Calif.) and Jake Krull (Sr., Plym-outh, Minn.) both recorded an interception in the contest. Zach Jakes (So., Mankato, Minn.) led the team with eight tackles, while Ezekiel Sundberg (So., Lakewood, Colo.) had seven.

The Gusties will be in action again next Saturday when they take on UW-Stout for a 1:05 p.m. contest in Menomonie, Wis.
