TERRE HAUTE — Indiana State had football players earn both conference and national honors following Saturday night’s 57-7 season opening victory over St. Joseph’s (Ind.) at Memorial Stadium.

FN Lutz, a sophomore center, earned Missouri Valley Football Conference Offensive Lineman Of The Week honors after he anchored the Sycamore offensive line during a 514-yard effort.

Those 514 yards were the eighth-most by an FCS team in week one of the season. Included in that total was 371 yards of rushing, which was third-most in the nation during opening week.

The Sycamores scored a total of seven offensive touchdowns, all of them rushing, which is a school record. Darrius Gates found 160 yards worth of running room behind the Sycamore line, which is the most ever for a Sycamore tailback in a season opener. Joining Gates with 133 yards on the ground was freshman Shakir Bell.

Gates and Bell were named to the honorable-mention list for the National FCS Running Back Of The Week Award.

The Sycamores also continued to be featured in The Sports Network FCS Top 25. All nine MVFC teams appeared in this week’s poll, with four teams ranked in the top 25 and the other five in the also-receiving-votes portion.

ISU’s 371 rushing yards ranks third nationally and is tops in the MVFC. ISU’s 514 yards of total offense is eighth nationally and second in the league. The Sycamore defense ranks 25th nationally, allowing 242 yards per game, while its 7 points allowed ranks in a tie for 15th nationally for scoring defense. ISU’s 57 points on offense are fifth in the nation, its four team quarterback sacks ranks in a tie for eighth nationally and its 39.33 net punting average is 18th in the country.

Individually, Gates’ 160 rushing yards is fourth in the country and Bell’s 133 yards are in a tie for ninth place in the NCAA. Alex Sewall’s 17 yards per punt return ranks seventh in the nation, Gates’ 18 points was the second-most scored by one player, and Rod Hardy’s two quarterback sacks tied for third nationally.

Indiana State plays at noon Saturday at the University of Cincinnati.
