St. Scholastica will look to get its first win of the season when the Saints host Eureka College (Ill.) and record-setting quarterback Sam Durley in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference season opener at 1 p.m. today at Public Schools Stadium.
Durley set an NCAA record with 736 passing yards in last week's 62-55 victory over Knox College. His favorite target was Jordan Kindred, who caught 13 passes for 235 yards in his first game of organized football.
St. Scholastica brings a 13-game conference winning streak into the game. The Saints held Durley to 169 passing yards in a 48-7 victory in Illinois last year and will be looking to bounce back after last week's season-opening 28-18 loss to Whitworth University (Wash.). St. Scholastica sophomore running back Tyler Harper threw for 156 yards and two touchdowns and led the Saints with 48 rushing yards in his first collegiate start.
