HELENA -- Only a 25-yard field goal by Dan Kleckner of
Montana Tech kept the Orediggers from a scoreless showing Saturday
as Carroll swept to a 45-3 victory in Frontier Conference football.
Kleckner kicked the field goal three plays after recovering a
fumble by Tyler Emmert, and after that, the game belonged to
Carroll, the three-time NAIA defending champion.
Carroll responded with an 11-yard touchdown run by Jed Thomas in
the first quarter and then scored three touchdowns in the second.
Emmert connected with Tyler Peterson for a 55-yard score and Thomas
for a 12-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
The No. 1 Saints had 26 first downs and 476 yards in total
offense. No. 9 Tech had 206 yards of total offense and six first
downs.
Josh Johnson had 44 yards rushing for Montana Tech (6-2, 4-1).
Ryan Grosulak led the Saints with 87 yards on the ground. Sean
Herrin had 167 yards in total offense.
Carroll is 6-0 and 4-0.
