Norse Defeated by Storm 56-14

Luther did all of its scoring in the final two minutes of today's 56-14 loss to Simpson College this afternoon. The Norse produced 97 yards of total offense and scored two touchdowns in the final 2:07 of the game.

Head coach Joe Troche platooned freshman quarterback Grady Rose and sophomore quarterback Noah Millhouse who entered today's contest with a combined eight pass attempts and one rush. The duo battled the entire afternoon and each scored a touchdown. Millhouse capped off a 10-play, 73-yard drive with a one-yard plunge for a touchdown with 2:07 left in the game.

The Norse lined up for an on-sides kick and linebacker Xavier Capton forced a fumble, recovered the fumble, and returned the football to the Simpson 33. Seven plays later, Rose rushed up the middle for a three-yard touchdown with 19 ticks left on the clock. 

Rose finished the game with 73 yards rushing on 12 attempts and threw for 43 yards connecting on 9-of-16 attempts. 

The Storm dominated throughout producing 563 yards of total offense, while the Norse tallied 137.

Tyler Ragan once again led the defensive squad recording a game high 14 tackles. Jermarion Williams was next with eight, while Dane Peterson, Brayden Daly and Jaden Ruff were all credited with seven.

The loss gives Luther an overall record of 0-7, while Simpson improved to 3-4.

Next week, Luther will travel to Coe College. Kick-off is slated for 1:00 p.m. in Cedar Rapids.
