GAME FACTS
- The opening drive was nearly perfect for the Kohawk offense after the defense forced an immediate three-and-out, driving 59 yards in seven plays before Krousie hit Slade Huerta for a two-yard touchdown. Julian Garcia Ayala put the next three points on the board on Coe's next drive as a special teams punt block was recovered deep in NWU territory. The Kohawk offense failed to put seven on the board despite starting at the 10, having to settle for a 27-yard kick which Garica Ayala converted. Coe's offense threatened during a long drive early in the second quarter, marching from its own 14 down to the NWU 10 before turning it over on downs as Krousie failed to hit Devon Kollasch on a fourth and three attempt. The Kohawk defense stood up to the test on the ensuing possession, allowing the Prairie Wolves to move the ball past midfield before missing a deep 48-yard field goal attempt. Coe's offense struck again on its first drive of the second half, shaking off the slow start with a 10-play, 65-yard drive that was capped off by Barnes' eighth rushing TD of the year. Henry Ryan quickly got the offense back on the field on NWU's next drive, picking off a third-down pass to set up Krousie in plus territory. The Kohawks hit pay dirt moments later, capitalizing on the turnover with a one-yard touchdown pass to Taylor. Coe scored for its third straight drive minutes later as the defense forced another three-and-out, getting a seven-yard score from Andrew White to go up 29-0. Senters capped off the incredible quarter with Coe's fourth straight TD drive, hauling in a 47-yard bomb from Krousie for his eighth TD of the season. The Kohawks put two more touchdowns on the board early in the fourth quarter, pouding in two more rushing scores from one yard and seven yards out as White and Cunningham put the icing on the cake.
