Shelbyville could not keep up with the Indy offense, scoring 2 touchdowns on 275 total offensive yards.
Bunch, playing in his first game since an elbow injury shelved him in week 2, wasted no time dusting himself off, throwing 18-and-10-yard touchdown passes to Johnson in the first quarter to put the Eagles up by 14 early.

At halftime, the Eagles led the Golden Eagles 32-8.
Daniel Wright, who led Indy with 115 yards on 12 carries, scored his touchdown putting the only points from either team on the board in the third quarter. Going into the final quarter, Indy led 39-8.
