In three quarters of action, the graduate student completed 20 of 29 passes for 183 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. He was also effective in the Chadron State rushing attack, recording 56 rushing yards, with the majority of those yards coming on a 41-yard touchdown. Ralph’s four total touchdowns were the most in the RMAC this week, leading Chadron State to a 52-3 victory over the Grizzlies.

Stuhr was a force to be reckoned with in the Mavericks win over No. 4 Colorado School of Mines on Saturday. He finished with eight tackles, 2.5 sacks, and a hurry from his outside linebacker position. The 2.5 sacks are a career-high and the eight tackles match a career-high for the Littleton, Colorado native. He helped the defense limit Mines' passing attack to 159 yards and just 108 yards on the ground.

The punt return was the longest of the season for the ThunderWolves, and the team’s first punt return for a touchdown in 2024. Robinson also caught two passes for 34 yards, finishing with 107 all-purpose yards on the day. With the help of Robinson, CSU Pueblo secured its 11th straight RMAC victory and moved up to No. 1 in the RMAC standings.
