STORM LAKE, Iowa (October 1, 2021) - The Buena Vista University football team is looking to make it back-to-back conference wins and move above the .500 mark as it goes back on the road Saturday afternoon for a match-up against the University of Dubuque.

LAST WEEK: The Beavers put together a strong second half on both sides of the ball and pulled away for a 32-14 home victory over Luther College.  Alot of the damage, offensively, came on the ground with 147 net yards and three scores. Running back Keaton Huebner had a team-high 67 yards rushing and two scores while quarterback Brandon Kyles added 47 on 18 carries.  Senior Eric Pacheco was limited to only three catches but did provide a huge spark with an 85-yard punt return midway through the third quarter that made it a three-score game.  Defensively, Brady McConaty turned in 17 total tackles, including six for a loss.  The Beavers also intercepted one pass and forced one fumble.   

Inside the Series - The two teams go against each other for the 82nd meeting all-time on Saturday with BVU leading the series 50-31.  The Spartans, however, have won seven of the last 10 contests, including a 26-12 victory back in 2019.  BVU's last win over Dubuque was a 44-41 road triumph in 2017.  The Beavers did win 15 straight over the Spartans from 1991-2005.  BVU hasn't dropped three straight in the series since Dubuque was victorious four straight times from 2009-12.
