Carlton Westbrook’s punt return for a touchdown in the season opener means that the Miners have had at least one return (kickoff, punt, interception or fumble) for a touchdown in eight consecutive seasons. In the process, Westbrook tied Craig Heath’s school record with two punt returns for scores in the same season, a mark set back in 1980.

Missouri S&T held McKendree to a net total of minus 61 yards rushing in the Sept. 15 game, matching the second-lowest total in a game in school history. The Miners held Evansville to minus 65 on the ground on Sept. 22, 1984, while on Oct. 26, 1985, Lincoln fi nished with a net of minus 61 on the ground against the Miners. A Victory Saturday Would: -- Improve the Miners’ record to 5-1, their best six-game start since the 1984 season. -- Give the Miners their third consecutive road victory, their longest winning streak away from home since taking six straight in 1985-86. -- Give the Miners a 2-1 lead in the all-time series with Central State. -- Give the Miners their tenth win in their last 13 games against NCAA Division II competition, dating back to Sept. 24, 2011. -- Give the Miners their fi rst 3-1 start to open a league schedule since 1985, when S&T fi nished with a 4-1 record in the MIAA. 2012 MISSOURI S&T FOOTBALL 7 2012 Missouri S&T Opponents -- Game-by-Game Results
