DAYTON (Interstat) — Morehead State will visit Dayton on Saturday for an NCAA Football Championship Division game at Welcome Stadium. The Eagles enter at 0-4, while the Flyers are 3-1.

Dayton will look to bounce back from a 30-22 loss at Drake in its most recent game. Bryce Schondelmyer, the Flyers’ player to watch, passed for 187 yards and a touchdown in that defeat. He also ran for 8 yards and punted once for 16 yards. Earlier, Schondelmyer passed for 146 yards and a touchdown in a 17-14 win at Eastern Kentucky. Gavin Lochow added 36 passing yards, 17 rushing yards, 47 receiving yards and a touchdown against Drake, while Luke Hansen ran for 36 yards, caught five passes for 67 yards and returned a kickoff 14 yards.

The Flyers opened the season with a 43-20 win over Fairmont State, then beat Thomas More 30-7 before topping Eastern Kentucky. Dayton’s offense has shown balance, with Schondelmyer directing the passing game and Hansen contributing as a runner and receiver. Lochow gives the Flyers another option in the passing game and on the ground. Dayton will next face Butler, San Diego, Stetson, Valparaiso, Davidson and Presbyterian.

Morehead State has struggled to generate offense and enters the matchup seeking its first win. The Eagles fell 37-3 to Valparaiso in their most recent game.

The Eagles have faced a difficult stretch, including a 59-2 loss at Western Illinois and a 63-7 loss at Austin Peay. Their other results include a 42-40 overtime loss to Ohio Dominican. Morehead State will need to protect the football and find consistency on offense to keep pace with a Dayton team that has scored at least 30 points in three of its first four games. The Flyers’ defense also held Eastern Kentucky to 14 points in a road win.
