BEMIDJI, Minn. -- Connor Carver's torrid stretch continued here on Saturday, and the Bemidji State football squad rode the wave to a 44-26 takedown of No. 17 Minnesota Duluth.
Carver, a former Fort Dodge all-stater, threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns while adding 116 yards and two scores on the ground as the Beavers (5-5 overall, 5-4 in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference) won their third straight game. All three victories have come with Carver -- a junior quarterback -- fully in charge of the offense.
The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Carver was coming off a 496-yard, five-TD performance in a triumph the week before over rival Minnesota State Moorhead. In the last three contests, Carver has racked up 777 passing yards and 10 scores with 382 more yards rushing and three touchdowns.
On the year, Carver is BSU's top ground threat with 907 yards and 12 TDs at nearly six yards per carry. He also has a team-best 10 passing scores, with 805 yards and a quarterback rating of 182.2.
Carver graduated from Fort Dodge Senior High in 2023 after a decorated football, track and rugby career with the Dodgers.
The Beavers close the regular season at the University of Mary on Saturday at 1 p.m.
