Big Rapids, Mich. - #1 ranked Grand Valley State extended the nation’s longest football winning streak to 22 games Saturday with a convincing<br />

28-6 victory at rival Ferris State. The Lakers improve to 9-0 overall and 8-0 in GLIAC action, while Ferris State falls to 6-3 overall<br />

and 5-3 in the GLIAC.<br />

GVSU took its opening possession 58 yards in five plays for a touchdown. Preston Garris took a shovel pass from QB Cullen Finnerty<br />

and forced his way in from 10 yards out. Todd Carter added the PAT for a 7-0 Laker lead. Grand Valley State needed just two plays to<br />

move 40 yards into a fierce wind for its second score following a 17-yard FSU punt that went out <strong>of</strong> bounds at the Bulldog 40. Finnerty<br />

hit WR Antione Trent with a 10-yard hook over the middle that he took 20 more yards for a 30-yard TD reception. Ferris State's only<br />

points <strong>of</strong> the half came on a career-long field goal <strong>of</strong> 52 yards by Josh Eichler. GVSU stopped a potential Bulldog scoring opportunity at<br />

the end <strong>of</strong> the first half when safety Jacob McGuckin picked <strong>of</strong>f a Ryan Kaul pass in the end zone with 12 seconds left in the half.<br />

Finnerty was intercepted on the first play <strong>of</strong> the second half to give Ferris State life coming out <strong>of</strong> the locker room. The Bulldogs took<br />

advantage by driving 30 yards in eight plays before Eichler connected from 31 yards for his second field goal <strong>of</strong> the day.<br />

Heading into the wind in the third quarter, GVSU went on a 10-play, 83-yard scoring drive that took 5:36 <strong>of</strong>f the clock. Finnerty hit<br />

WR Eric Fowler a 12-yard TD pass to put the Lakers up 21-6. Grand Valley State concluded the game with a 14-play, 72-yard drive that<br />

took 9:07 <strong>of</strong>f the clock in the fourth quarter. Finnerty tossed a one-yard TD pass to an uncovered Fowler in the corner in the end zone.<br />

"It feels good to be 9-0," said third-year head coach Chuck Martin. "We knew this was a huge game for Ferris State because they had<br />

aspirations <strong>of</strong> the play<strong>of</strong>fs if they could pick up a win today. I believe they were seventh in the regional rankings heading into today's<br />

game and if they were to beat us that would have put them in a great position. However, that is what makes the victory special because<br />

our guys were able to grind out a win in less than ideal weather conditions against a good football team," added Martin.<br />

Finnerty completed 11-<strong>of</strong>-15 passes for 182 yards and four TDs. Blake Smolen recorded his first 100-yard rushing performance with<br />

110 yards on 16 carries, while Astin Martin added 86 yards on 11 carries. Eric Fowler caught four passes for 80 yards and two TDs, while<br />

Smolen added 36 receiving yards on three catches. Preston Garris caught two passes for 36 yards and a TD. Defensively, freshman P.J.<br />

Beuke led the way with eight tackles, while Anthony Adams chipped in seven. Mike McFadden recorded six tackles and became the alltime<br />

career sack leader in DII football history with his 34th career QB sack. CB Brandon Carr, safety Jacob McGuckin and Derek<br />

Stansbery each picked <strong>of</strong>f a pass, while McFadden recovered a Bulldog fumble.<br />

"Our defense is playing good football and that showed again today," added Martin. "They have held the past three opponents to seven<br />

(Indianapolis), seven (Northwood) and six (Ferris State) points the last three weeks."<br />

GVSU recorded 371 yards <strong>of</strong> total <strong>of</strong>fense on 54 plays, while Ferris State managed just 238 yards on 56 plays. GVSU punter Justin<br />

Trumble averaged 49.5 yards on two punts.<br />
