With players named Nick accounting for all seven touchdowns, the Muhlenberg football team rolled past Ursinus, 49-7, in its final scheduled home game.
 
The win was the fifth straight for the Mules (8-1, 7-1) and gave the senior class, honored before the game on Senior Day, a program record-tying 33 wins over their four years.
 
Muhlenberg rolled up 535 yards of total offense and 31 first downs in topping the 40-point mark for the fourth straight game for the first time in program history. The defense allowed only 170 yards and, for the fourth straight game, just one offensive touchdown.

The Mules have outscored their last four opponents by a 220-38 margin.
 
The biggest Nick was senior quarterback Nick Palladino, who tied one record and broke two others before leaving in the fourth quarter. Palladino completed 20 of 27 passes for 257 yards and four touchdowns while also rushing for 62 yards and a pair of scores. He tied the CC all-time record of 87 career touchdown passes while breaking school records for touchdowns responsible for in a game (6) and career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (22).
 
Junior Nick Savant gained 143 yards on 21 carries for his eighth consecutive 100-yard rushing game, going over 2,000 rushing yards for his career. Senior Nick Lamb caught eight passes for 110 yards and a pair of scores.

Freshman Nick DeLucas (pictured below) capped the scoring with an 8-yard run for his first career touchdown.
 
Senior Mike Luby and junior Matt Musilli each recorded a pair of sacks for the Muhlenberg defense. Luby now has 22½ sacks for his career, just two short of the school record.
 
The Mules needed only six plays to score the first points of the game. Ursinus received the opening kickoff, and on third down Luby forced a fumble with a sack. Junior Thomas Cosgriff recovered for Muhlenberg, and three plays later Palladino ran in from 11 yards out.
 
The score remained 7-0 until the Mules blew the game open with three second-quarter touchdowns.
 
Savant took a screen pass from Palladino and went 15 yards for a touchdown to cap a 10-play, 88-yard drive. After an Ursinus three-and-out and 20-yard punt return by senior Ryan Delaney, Palladino sneaked in from a yard out to finish off an eight-play, 44-yard drive.
 
After another punt, Muhlenberg took over at its 24 with 3:41 left in the half and needed just eight plays to cover the 76 yards, with Palladino finding Delaney in the end zone from 24 yards out to make it 28-0 with 53.1 seconds on the clock.

Delaney caught six passes to move into second place on the team's all-time receptions list, behind Lamb.
 
Like the Mules in the first half, the Bears (1-8, 1-7) scored their lone touchdown after an early turnover in the second half.
 
Muhlenberg responded with two Palladino-to-Lamb scoring passes, from 9 and 31 yards out (pictured above).
  
Senior John Feaster and sophomore Bobby Merle recorded interceptions for the Mules, who held two Ursinus quarterbacks to 95 yards on 14-of-31 passing. Feaster's pick was the 15th of his career and was part of a good day for his family: Younger brother Frankie Feaster caught three passes for 67 yards.

Freshman Todd Spirt made all seven PAT tries, extending his streak to 28.
