Running game wins for WSU

Wayne State's football team defeated Mercyhurst 35-31 Saturday improving their GLIAC record (2-0) for the first time since 1980. Warrior running back Joique Bell set a school record with 318 yards on 26 carries, breaking the previous record by four yards. "I have not been involved in anything this special," head coach Paul Winters said. "It was a special day for (Bell) and our team." Bell's 318-yard performance broke Randy Holmes' old record of 314 yards, which he set on Sept. 17, 1988.
