In a 41-20 win at Wayne State last Thursday, Spitzlberger ran for 288 yards and three TD's while completing passes to 10 different receivers. 

Having scoring runs of five, 36 and 74 yards, Spitzlberger threw for 182 yards as UNK racked up 700 yards of total offense.

The 288 rushing yards is the third highest total in school history and allows Spitzlberger to become UNK's all-time leading rusher (now 1,707) among QB's.
