10/28/2017 - Today's game matched the undefeated and #1-ranked USF Cougars against the winless conference foes from Lindenwood-Belleville. The Cougars boasted the top-ranked offense in the MSFA, and the Lynx brought the worst-ranked defense to town. Also, the Cougars placed their top-ranked defense against the MSFA's worst-rated offense. The outcome was predictable; the only thing in doubt was the final score. In hindsight, the Cougars needed only 13 seconds to settle the matter. Matt Kominkiewicz ran back the opening kickoff for a touchdown and a quick 7-0 lead. When the final seconds had ticked off the clock, USF won with a 70-0 shutout over the visitors. In addition to the opening play, highlights in the game were: 3 touchdown passes by Nick Ferrer, 3 touchdown runs by Justin Green, and 2 pick-6 interceptions returned for a score (the first being a goal-line to goal-line return of 100 yards by Spencer Cowherd, and the second being a 45-yard return by Kaleb Summers). Kominkiewicz also had a 2-touchdown game as he was on the receiving end of a TD pass from Clay Senerius. During the game, Ferrer became #2 on the career yardage list for MSFA quarterbacks. He passed former Cougar QB Jeremy Hibbeln as he became the all-time leader in yardage by a Saint Francis QB.
