The Bluffton University football team traveled down I-75 today to take on conference foe Mount St. Joseph on Saturday. The MSJ defense was too much for the Beavers in a 38-14 victory that kept the Lions unbeaten (6-0, 4-0 HCAC) on the year.
The home team would get on the scoreboard first when Cornell Beachem rushed for a 62-yard touchdown to put MSJ up 7-0 with 7:07 left in the first quarter.
