IUP beats Clarion

INDIANA — The 13th-ranked Indiana University of Pennsylvania Crimson Hawks totaled 411 rushing yards and outscored Clarion 35-3 in the second half, en route to a 42-17 blowout victory of the Golden Eagles at George P. Miller Stadium.

IUP ran 258 yards on 46 carries in the second half alone, controlling the clock for 20:10 of the game’s final 30 minutes of action. The three-headed monster of junior running back Chris Temple, redshirt sophomore quarterback Lenny Williams Jr. and freshman running back Samir Bullock combined for 264 yards in that dominating second half.

Those three also became the first IUP trio since 1994 to all rush for 100 yards in the same game. Temple finished with 153 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, his best game of the year. Bullock ran for 126 yards and a score on 24 carries, and Williams finished with 115 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries.

The 411 yards by IUP is the fifth most in a single game in school history, and the most since the 433-yard output against East Stroudsburg in 2006.
