Host and national football editor Zack Poff breaks down all the top games.
The much-anticipated Cincinnati rivalry game between upstart
La Salle and the nation's No. 14 team
St. Xavier didn't turn out to be much of a game at all.
St. Xavier, riding 194 yards passing and four touchdowns from Wisconsin commit
Chase Wolf, led 28-0 at the end of the first quarter and 42-7 at halftime.
There was no scoring in a lackluster second half as the Bombers (7-0) breezed to a 42-7 home victory.
Wolfe fired two touchdown passes to
Andrew Wittrock and one each to
Cam Specht and
Jared Kreimer, and
Kellen Newman scored on runs of 18 and 1 yards St. Xavier piled up 306 yards, almost entirely in the first half.
LaSalle (5-2) got a 21-yard rushing touchdown from
Griffin Merritt with 4:37 left in the half to cut the deficit 35-7.
But after Newman's second touchdown run just before halftime, this one was completely done.
LaSalle, which next week travels to LeBron James' alma mater St. Vincent-St. Mary (Akron), finished with just 181 yards.
St. Xavier, which has now outscored opponents 230-65, hosts Football North (Mississauga, Ontario) next week.
St. Xavier running back Kellen Newman rushed for two touchdowns on Friday.
