Allentown, Pa. - Nick Palladino and Anthony Schwab combined to set a school record by throwing six touchdown passes as the Muhlenberg football team rolled up 607 yards of total offense in a 55-0 Homecoming shutout of McDaniel.
Palladino threw for 146 yards an four touchdown passes in the first half, leading the Mules (2-1, 1-1 Centennial Conference) to a 41-0 lead at the break. Schwab played the entire second half and tossed a pair of scoring strikes.
The old record of five touchdown passes in a game was achieved six times, most recently in 2000.
Muhlenberg rushed for 399 yards and came within one of the school record of 35 first downs in a game. Nick Savant (122 yards on nine carries) and Max Cepeda (108 yards on 10 carries) each passed the 100-yard mark in the first half, and neither took a handoff in the second.
The defense allowed only 165 total yards (53 in the first half) and forced three turnovers in shutting out the Green Terror (0-3, 0-2) for the third time in four years. The Mules have recorded at least one shutout in each of the last seven seasons.
Muhlenberg took the opening kickoff and needed just 2:50 to score its first touchdown, on a 20-yard third-down pass from Palladino to Mike Harris. After a McDaniel three-and-out, the Mules moved 87 yards in just six plays to take a 13-0 lead on Savant's 39-yard run on third down.
Another third-down touchdown, on a 9-yard pass from Palladino to Savant, gave Muhlenberg touchdowns on its first three possessions and a 20-0 lead after one quarter.
The Mules added three more scores in the second on a 49-yard run by Cepeda and Palladino passes of 13 yards to Harris and 22 yards to Nick Lamb.
Schwab threw touchdown passes to Matthew Stickney in the third and Devlin Formey in the fourth.
Luke Wiley led the defense with seven tackles, while Matt Musilli made five stops, one for loss, and forced a fumble. Matt Pagano intercepted a pass to set up the Mules' sixth touchdown.
For McDaniel, Tayahd Campbell rushed for 47 yards on only seven carries. Matty Callahan was 14-for-31 for 78 yards.
