RECAP: Salima's Final Homecoming Leads 'Dogs To 49-27 Win Over Jewell

Box Score
 
LIBERTY, Mo. – Playing in his final collegiate game in his hometown, Jordan Salima ran for 102 yards and scored four rushing touchdowns in Truman's 49-27 win over William Jewell on Saturday afternoon.
 
Salima, a product of nearby Independence, Missouri and Truman High School, caught a 25-yard pass on the first play from scrimmage and capped off the opening salvo by the Bulldogs with the first of his four TDs from a yard out.
 
Jake Ellis caught his sixth touchdown of the season on Truman's next possession from Jaden Barr and the Bulldogs were up 14-0.
 
Jewell cut the lead in half when Jalik Jaggwe reeled in a 21-yard pass from Will Schneider with 1:55 to go in the first quarter. Jaggwe finished the day with seven catches for 114 yards and two scores.
 
The Bulldogs took control in the second quarter scoring 21 points. Cody Schrader scored on a six-yard run followed by a four-yard burst by Salima. Griffin Becker put the icing on the cake with a 40-yard pick six to make it 35-7.
 
Salima scored a two-yard touchdown in the third and finished his afternoon with a five-yard run with 11:39 in the fourth quarter. He would go over 3,000 career rushing yards on the afternoon as he recorded his 10th career 100-yard rushing day as a Bulldog.
 
Jaden Barr completed 19-of-27 for 216 yards with Zach Zerwig catching five passes for 57 yards. The Bulldogs put up 428 yards of total offense and were 6-of-6 in redzone scoring opportunities.
 
The defense held the Cardinals to 333 yards and sacked quarterback Will Schneider four times. Sam Reeves had 2.5 sacks and Reed McBroom (fumble) and Ben Thomas (interception) were added to the defensive numbers on Saturday.
 
The Bulldogs sit at 7-1 and 4-1 in the GLVC and will host McKendree (Ill.) for Senior Day next Saturday afternoon at Stokes Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. with senior recognition beginning at 11:30.
