Anderson University 44, LaGrange 14
ANDERSON — Early season success continues as Anderson University stays undefeated after a 44-14 rout of the LaGrange Panthers.
Playing in front of 4,428 fans on a warm and cloudy evening, Anderson dominated the Panthers from start to finish in their commanding victory. Quarterback Tyler Wesley had a monstrous game, completing 24 of his 29 pass attempts for 373 yards, overtaking his collegiate career best.
Wesley opened the scoring on AU’s first possession when he connected with redshirt junior wide receiver Jalon Warthen-Carr for a 54-yard touchdown pass. The Trojans never looked back. After a defensive stop, Wesley led the Trojans down the field and added a field goal to make it 10-0.
To start the second quarter, RB Monzelle Campbelle added onto his productive day with a five-yard rushing TD, giving Anderson a 17-0 lead. The Trojans went on to score 21 unanswered points in the second and third quarters, capped by a second rushing touchdown for Campbelle.
Anderson outrushed LaGrange 173-52 and outgained the Panthers 401-148 through the air. This exciting victory for the Trojans propels them to a 2-0 start to their historic inaugural football season.
