INDIANA, USA — The sixth week of college football for NCAA and NAIA teams in Indiana has wrapped up. A few teams posted big wins, while others were dealt heartbreaking losses.
Butler traveled to Minnesota on Saturday looking to win their fifth straight game against St. Thomas. However, the Bulldogs fell short with a 17-10 loss.
No. 10 Notre Dame lost for the second time in its last three games, falling on the road to No. 24 Louisville 33-20.
The Indiana State Sycamores lost their fifth straight game of the season to Northern Iowa. The 27-20 loss was the Sycamores' second straight one-score loss.
In Division II, the UIndy Greyhounds (5-0, 2-0) won their homecoming game 59-17 over William Jewell. Quarterback Gavin Sukup completed 18 out of 23 of his passes for 167 yards and three touchdowns in the win.
Looking at Division III, the Manchester University Spartans dropped to 0-5 after a 44-7 rout by Heartland Conference rival Rose-Hulman. The Fightin' Engineers moved to 3-2 overall and 2-0 in conference.
The DePauw Tigers continued their monstrous season with a 17-6 win over Denison, moving to 6-0.
In the NAIA, the St. Francis Cougars (3-2, 2-0) handled Siena Heights at home. The Cougars have now won three straight games after opening the season with back-to-back losses.
Indiana Wesleyan rolled over the Taylor Trojans 42-17 in the annual I-69 Rivalry game. The Wildcats moved to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the conference with the win. The team is ranked No. 4 in the NAIA Top-25 poll, just ahead of the fifth ranked Marian University Knights.
Speaking of Marian, the Knights shut out Madonna on the road with a 41-0 win. Marian now boasts a perfect 5-0 record.
Only one team from Indiana didn't play this week. Ironically, it was the Indiana Hoosiers who had a bye during week six. The Hoosiers likely needed the off-week to help new offensive coordinator Rod Carey get up to speed after taking over for the fired Walt Bell.
