The Redbirds, who are currently ranked
No. 23 in The Sports Network/College Sports Television Network poll,
legged out 267 yards rushing in the win with Stegeman anchoring the
effort on the line.
The Chatham, Ill., native played 86
snaps at left tackle and posted 11 knockdowns without a missed
assignment or allowing a sack. He also paved the way for the
game-winning touchdown as Demetrus Johnson’s 49-yard run went off
his block on the off-tackle run.
Stegeman and
the No. 23 Redbirds return to action on Saturday for the first of
two consecutive home games at Hancock Stadium. Saturday the 'Birds
will face Florida Atlantic in the first-ever meeting between the two
schools. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. [See
game notes.]
