KIRKSVILLE, Mo. – The Truman defense pitched their first shutout in three seasons and freshman Jordan Salima had his first career 100-yard rushing game in the Bulldogs 37-0 victory over Lincoln (Mo.) University on Saturday night.
 
It was the first blanking of an opponent by the 'Dogs since a 2013 thrashing of Quincy (Ill.) University by a score of 33-0. Truman held the Blue Tigers to 197 yards of total offense including 49 net yards rushing on 29 attempts. Austin Zoda, Isaiah Hinton and Kade Young led the way with six tackles apiece while Zoda moved into the Truman career top 20 in tackles with 266.
 
Special teams were also a major key in the victory. Punter Brock Rohler was 5-of-5 in punts inside the 20 yard line including four inside the 10. He had a punt of 36 yards midway through the second quarter that was downed by Lawrence Woods at the Lincoln one that eventually led to a safety by Sam Reeves in the endzone to put Truman up 9-0.
 
Salima has 125 yards on 20 carries and his 28-yard run early in the second quarter broke the scoreless tie. He would add a 13-yard pass reception for a score with 2:11 left in the half and a three-yard run with 6:08 in the third quarter to finish with 196 all-purpose yards.
 
The Bulldogs pounded out 241 yards rushing after being held to -11 yards in the first quarter. Andy Satulla had a touchdown and 54 yards rushing and Felix Neboh added 64 with the longest play of the night, a 73-yard sprint for a score to cap things off in the fourth quarter.
 
Quarterback Jaden Barr was 16-of-24 for 148 yards with Salima catching eight passes for 53 and Drew Slager with four for 70.
 
The Bulldogs will have a showdown with the four-time defending league champion, the University of Indianapolis next Saturday night at 7 p.m. at Stokes Stadium. UIndy picked up their first win of the season in a non-conference tilt against Kentucky Wesleyan. The Greyhounds spotted the Panthers a 7-0 lead before scoring 37 unanswered points.
