Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask St. Marys). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Bradford Owls 68-6. The high-scoring effort was just what the Flying Dutch needed considering they were shut out in their previous matchup.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead St. Marys to victory, but perhaps none more so than Brody Wehler, who threw for 87 yards and a pair of TDs on perfect 8-for-8 passing, and also punched in one touchdown on the ground. Wehler's passing game has become a key predictor of the Flying Dutch's success: the team is 2-1 when his passer rating is 110 or higher, but only 1-5 otherwise. Frankie Smith also deserves a mention for his punt return touchdown.
St. Marys' run defense was locked in: Bradford could only muster 2.3 yards per carry. The team can thank Mike Miller for the heroic effort on defense: he. St. Marys' run defense has been on the up-and-up: they allowed 4.07 yards per carry earlier this season, but they've only allowed 4.47 on average over their last three games.
Special teams played a big role in the game for St. Marys, adding 18 points to the final score. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Smith, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.
