INDIANAPOLIS - The regular season home finale is upon the Marian football team, as the Knights are set to host Judson University this Saturday in the team's senior day game. Kickoff for this Saturday, November 8, is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. from Ascension St. Vincent Field.

THE SERIES
Marian has had the upper hand in the short-lived series with Judson, holding a 2-0 record against the Eagles. Marian won last year's meeting 76-6, and won the first-ever meeting in 2023 by a 40-6 score. 

Keagan La Belle and Jake Reichard each scored a pair of touchdowns in the contest a year ago, while Logan Carrington and Yassine Falke each had a pick-six. Tristan Polk threw three touchdown passes in last season's meeting, and the defense racked up five sacks one year ago. 

LAST TIME OUT
Marian grinded out a 28-11 win over St. Francis (Ill.) last Saturday, defeating the Fighting Saints to move to 8-1 on the season and 3-0 in the Mid-States Football Association. The Knights scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to finish off the win, getting 100-yard performances on the ground by Keagan La Belle and through the air by Aidan Wanner.

Marian recorded three interceptions one week ago, bringing their team total to 17 this season.

Marian ranks in the top-five in the NAIA in both sacks and interceptions, while the offense remains a top-10 team in the NAIA in scoring rushing yards.

RECORD SETTER
Last Saturday, Keagan La Belle broke the Marian single season rushing touchdown record, finding the end zone on the ground for the 19th time this season. La Belle broke a mark set previously by Tevin Lake and Charles Salary, who each had an 18-touchdown season. Lake scored 18 times on the ground twice, doing so in the 2011 and 2012 seasons, while Salary achieved his mark in the 2019 season. Both Lake and Salary used postseason games to accomplish the mark, while La Belle broke the mark in eight regular season games. His 20 total touchdowns this season trail only Krishawn Hogan for the most total touchdowns scored in a regular season, as Hogan holds the mark with 25 scored during the 2016 campaign.
