Kohawks dominant in home win

Cedar Rapids, Iowa - The Kohawks dominated all three phases of the game for a 52-21 win over Luther College on Saturday afternoon. The win keeps the Kohawks undefeated in conference play at 2-0 as they move to 3-1 overall. 

Coe scored on the ground, through the air and on special teams touchdown while the defense held the Norse to 21 points in the big win. The Kohawks got three touchdown passes from Quentin White, two rushing touchdowns from Tyler Dralle and a special teams score from AJ Christensen

Coe drove the ball deep in to Luther territory on the opening possession but failed to finish the drive over as Tristen Connell couldn't connect on a 25-yard field goal. The Kohawk defense quickly got the ball back to the Kohawk offense with an interception by Jacob Elsbury on Luther's third play of the day. After the turnover it was Tyler Dralle with a two yard rush to give Coe the early lead. 

The Kohawks extended the lead with three scores in the second quarter to push their lead to 24-7 at half time. Coe struck early in the quarter with a 44-yard touchdown pass from Quentin White to Matt Kopp. Connell added to the lead with a 29-yard field goal before the Norse got their first points on a one yard run from Quon Lambert. Coe answered the Luther touchdown just before the half with a ten yard touchdown pass from Quentin White to Colton White.  The Kohawk defense held the Norse to just 90 yards in the first half. 

Coe came out of halftime ready to go and completely put things away with a scoring explosion in the third quarter. Coe's special teams got in on the scoring to open the third quarter when Christensen blocked a Norse punt and recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown. Coe keep rolling on offense with a 34-yard touchdown pass from Quentin White to Joshua Bishop and a five yard touchdown run from Dralle to take a 45-7 lead after three quarters. 

The Norse got a pair of touchdown runs in the fourth quarter before Mitch Stopko closed out the scoring with a 15-yard touchdown run. 

The Kohawks outgained the Norse 493 to 224 as they held the advantage both on the ground, 254-147, and through the air, 239-77. The dominate defense was able to get off the field often as they held Luther to just 3 of 17 on third down conversations and forced two turnovers.
