The Colorado School of Mines football team’s romp through the RMAC continued Saturday afternoon. The Orediggers made quick work of Chadron State before a sellout homecoming crowd at Marv Kay Stadium, running up a five-score halftime lead that was never challenged in a 35-7 victory. Running back Noah Roper scored three touchdowns, all before halftime, quarterback John Matocha threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns, and the Mines defense racked up five sacks. The second-ranked Orediggers (5-0, 3-0 RMAC) have outscored RMAC competition 160-28 through three conference games, with Saturday’s blowout the first time they were held under 50. Roper entered today with four total touchdowns on the season, this one here makes it three TODAY!
