The Concordia University, Nebraska football team was roughed up at Bulldog Stadium Saturday afternoon as No. 5 Morningside College collected a lopsided 49-0 victory.
Morningside (6-0, 6-0 GPAC) jumped out to a 35-0 halftime lead after scoring on all five of its first half offensive possessions. The Mustangs Jake Peterson scored four of the five touchdowns on runs of 1, 5, 23, and 8 yards a piece and Blake Anderson added the last touchdown with 58 seconds remaining in the first half.
"I thought we played a lot better in the second half," said defensive coordinator Vance Winter. "The positive thing I took from this game was that in a couple series of the second half we held their top unit and forced some punts."
The Bulldogs did slow down the Mustang attack in the second half as Morningside only managed a pair of Beau Kildow touchdown receptions to increase the lead to 49-0. The Concordia offense struggled all afternoon as the Bulldogs only managed 85 yards of total offense on 60 plays.
Morningside, on the other hand, ran up 494 yards of total offense on 66 plays.
The Bulldogs will travel to Lincoln, Neb., to take on the Nebraska Wesleyan Prairie Wolves at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25.
