updates

For the second straight year, the football
team went down to the final minute of
its season-opener before pulling out
a win. The Bears recorded a 16-14 victory
over visiting Simpson College (Iowa)
Sept. 7. Trailing 14-13 with 11:30 left
in the game, the Bears embarked on a
22-play, 98-yard drive to set up Ben
Lambert's game-winning, 18-yard field
goal with 46 seconds left. The drive
consumed 10:44 as WUSTL won its 12th
straight season opener. Lambert, who
tied the team's single-game record with
three field goals in his first game
with the team, gave the Bears a 6-0
lead after one quarter. A 56-yard Matt
Alley-to-Brad Duesing touchdown pass
made it 13-0 before Simpson took a 14-13
halftime lead. The Storm had just 91
yards of total offense in the first
half, but an interception return set
up a 1-yard TD run and a 38-yard punt
return set up a 27-yard touchdown drive
to give the Storm the one-point halftime
edge. The Bears' Kevin McCarthy piled
up 122 yards rushing on 29 carries in
his first career start, including 43
on the game-winning drive. Alley finished
10 of 27 for 149 yards and a TD, while
Duesing caught four passes for 90 yards
and his first career TD. Freshman quarterback
Nathan Szep took over late in the third
quarter and completed nine of 16 passes
for 82 yards, including seven of nine
for 55 yards on the final drive. Brandon
Roberts had a team-high seven tackles,
while sophomore Ryan Jakusz recorded
six tackles and a sack in his first
career start.
