TERRE HAUTE – Shakir Bell rushed for a school-record 349 yards and two touchdowns as Indiana State defeated Drake 27-10 Saturday.

Bell, who led the nation in rushing last season, broke off a 60-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter to break a 10-10 tie, and added a 48-yard score with 2:56 left in the period for the Sycamores (2-1).

Bell held the previous single-game rushing record of 256 yards set last year against Youngstown State.

He now has 610 yards rushing in three games this season.

Mike Piatkowski completed 31 of 53 passes for 329 yards and a touchdown for Drake (1-2).

His 7-yard pass to Nick Rosa in the first quarter gave the Bulldogs a 10-7 lead.

Williams was 13 of 21 for 168 yards, and Logan Haston was 11 of 16 for 119 yards and a touchdown.

DUQUESNE 45, VALPARAISO 17: In Valparaiso, Larry McCoy scored three touchdowns and tied a school record with his 21st career 100-yard game as Duquesne rallied from a 10-point first-quarter deficit.

McCoy, who tied the record set by Donte Small from 1998 to 2001, rushed for 171 yards and scored on runs of 28, 19 and 6 yards.

Sean Patterson completed 20 of 25 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns for the Dukes (2-1).

Valparaiso (0-3) had 176 yards of offense in the first quarter but finished with just 291 compared with 546 for Duquesne.
