The Bluffton University football team held their exhibition football game in Italy on May 14. The team easily defeated the Italian national squad as they took the game 75-0.

Sophomore fullback Ben McCullough (Bluffton/Bluffton) helped lead the Beaver's effort as he was named the most valuable player of the contest. Bluffton's defense held back the attack and the offense moved the ball well down the field.

The team will finish the rest of their trip touring Italy and concluding with three days in Rome.
