The Colorado School of Mines football program has its eyes on a national title.<\/p>\n
Establishing dominance in-state is now a given.<\/p>\n
That was certainly the case Saturday at ThunderBowl in Pueblo, where the second-ranked Orediggers routed the CSU Pueblo ThunderWolves, 55-14, behind 563 yards of offense in an RMAC victory.<\/p>\n
Mines senior quarter John Matocha completed 27 of 35 passes for 328 yards and three touchdowns, while three different runners found the end zone. That included a 67-yard run from Landon Walker that gave the Orediggers (4-0, 2-0 RMAC) a 31-7 lead less than 90 seconds into the second half. Steven Croell answered with a 38-yard scoring run for CSU Pueblo (1-3, 0-2), but that was the last time the ThunderWolves got on the scoreboard.<\/p>\n
Max McLeod (eight catches, 106 yards) and Flynn Schiele (5-101) both topped 100 yards receiving for Mines, with the former hauling in one touchdown grab and the latter two.<\/p>\n
The Orediggers defense sacked CSU Pueblo quarterback Chance Fuller (13-of-27 passing, 80 yards) three times, and totaled seven tackles for loss in the win. ThunderWolves back Howard Russell led all rushers with 137 yards on nine carries.<\/p>\n
