Cardinals Bounce Back with 37-14 Win in Red Feather Classic

UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. – The Saginaw Valley State University football team bounced back with a 37-14 win over Truman State in the team's home opener. Mason McKenzie had another big day with 277 total yards including an 84-yard touchdown scramble in the fourth quarter that extended the Cardinal lead to 30-14.

"It was a big win for us. Truman is a team that wins nine games year in and year out," said head coach Ryan Brady. "Anytime you can beat a team like that it feels good. I am proud of the kids, proud of the way they responded and bounced back after last week's tough loss. They had a great week of practice and are a resilient group with great leadership. I was confident we would come out and play well.

Defense put SVSU on the board in the first quarter after Adom LeDuc had a sack fumble that was picked up by Micah Cretsinger who advanced it 32 yards for a touchdown, the sixth defensive score of his career.  READ MORE
