The Adrian College football team was victorious on Saturday with a 34-26 victory over the two-time defending MIAA champion Trine University on Saturday, using a balanced offensive attack on the ground and through the air.
Adrian led for most of the contest while also holding a definitive time of possession with 36 minutes and 54 seconds to Trine’s 23:06.

It was a low-scoring interesting affair in the first quarter. Adrian took a 3-0 lead on sophomore Cooper West’s 26-yard field goal at the 9:43 mark before Lucas Garza nailed a 31-yarder of his own with 6:28 to go. Jake Gladieux sacked Adrian quarterback Jack Wurzer in the end zone to give the Thunder a safety and 5-3 lead with 3:36 remaining.
But in the second quarter and part of the third, the Bulldogs reeled off 17 unanswered points to take a 20-5 advantage at 10:43 showing on the clock in the third. West connected on a 36-yard field goal and Neal scored on TD runs of 1 and 3 yards.
Here’s one of Madison’s receptions for Adrian:

The teams alternated scoring plays for the rest of the game as the Bulldogs never trailed after falling behind 5-3. Dylan Dowling had TD runs of 1 and 12 yards and teammate Keysean Amison ran back a short kickoff 65 yards the other way for another score for the Thunder. For the Bulldogs, sophomore Trent Stone enjoyed 13-yard scamper into the end zone and sophomore quarterback Jack Wurzer and junior receiver Henry Wilson hooked up for a 32-yard pass play.
Adrian was 47 percent (8 of 17) in third-down efficiency while Trine went only 27 percent (4 of 15). Adrian also had 26 first downs to 15 for the visitors.
The Bulldog defense limited the Thunder offense to just 269 total yards.
