Washburn @ Northwest Missouri State

The Ichabod's last game of the season was against the Northwest Missouri State Bearcats. The Bearcats came into this game 9-1 and ranked 7th in division II football. Washburn held their own at the beginning of the game and was only down 14-0 at halftime to many peoples surprise. They seemed to almost start a comeback at the start of the second half closing the gap to 10 points after a 22 yard touchdown pass from Zeke Palmer making the score 17-7. Though, just as Washburn began gaining momentum NWSU took complete control of the game scoring 14 unanswered. Washburn scored again but it wouldn't matter as the final score was 31-14 with the Bearcats coming out on top.

This season wasn't the best for the Ichabod football team as they finished with a final record of 4-7. There was a lot of bright moments for them though and next year is guaranteed to bring a lot of surprises and hopefully a successful season.

Northeastern State @ Washburn

Saturday was Washburn's last home game of the season and the Senior's last chance to perform for the loyal Ichabod fans, and boy did they put on a great one. They were going up against the Northeastern State RiverHawks who had been having a tough season thus far coming into the game with an atrocious record of 0-9. Washburn came into the game aggressive and looking to score in any way possible. They shut down NSU the whole game and only allowed 7 points. Washburn scored 1 defensive, 2 special teams, and 3 offensive touchdown with a final of 42-7. This was a great way to send the seniors off and the Ichabod's final home record for the year was an average 3-3.

Washburn's final game of the year will be against the defending national champion Northwest Missouri State Bearcats. The game was originally scheduled to be at Arrowhead stadium but has been moved to NMSU. It will be at 1 O'clock on November 15th at Bearcat Stadium in Maryville, Missouri.

Emporia St. @ Washburn

November 1st is a day to remember because we completely dominated bitter rival Emporia State. From the get go the Ichabods exploded on to the scene and started the game off with 23 unanswered points. Dominating every aspect of the game Washburn had back to back rushing touchdowns by Vershon Moore, a field goal, and an 85 yard punt return also by Vershon Moore in the first half alone. In the second half Emporia State gave Washburn a scare starting off with 10 consecutive points. That was handled by the Ichabod offense as they returned with 13 more points putting the nail in the coffin. The game's final was 36-10 with Washburn the victor. Vershon Moore had a career day with 4 total touchdowns in the victory.

Next week the Ichabods hopefully can turn this win into another as they face Northeastern State University. The game will be at Yager stadium and is Washburn's senior day. They play on November 15th at 2 p.m

Washburn @ Central Oklahoma

The Ichabods traveled to Edmond, Oklahoma to face the Central Oklahoma Bronchos on October 25th. Washburn got off to a very quick start scoring the game's first 10 points. The Bronchos then woke up from their beginning slumber and scored 2 touchdown to go up 14-0 while catching a lucky break on an onside kick and then moving the ball downfield on a 90 yard drive. The rest of the game went back and forth with each team not wanting to give the other a big cushion. Then with the score 26-28, Bronchos, UCO running back Chas Stallard broke a 60 yard touchdown run with 3:40 left in the 4th quarter putting the nail in the coffin. The final score was 26-35 with UCO getting the W.

Washburn next game will be against longtime rival Emporia State University on November 1st at 1.pm.

Missouri Western @ Washburn

October 18th was Washburn's homecoming game, and excitement was all around, but unfortunately that excitement was dead in the water before the end of the first quarter. The Missouri Western Griffons proved that they were the better team from the get go starting the game off dominating the first quarter. By the time the game had reached halftime the score was 34-0, Griffons on top. As the game progressed the Ichabods were able to throw a couple TD's, although none of it really mattered as Missouri Western won with a final score of 40-14. Washburn's running game was completely stopped with a total of 43 total rushing yards, this includes star running back Vershon Moore who was held to 17 yards on the ground.

Washburn plays at University of Central Oklahoma October 25th at 1pm, it's sure to be a great game.

Washbun @ UCM

This week Washburn faced the University of Central Missouri. Unfortunately for the Ichabods it wasn't much of a game as they were shutout 44-0. Central Missouri dominated every single aspect of the game and embarrassed the unprepared Bods in this blowout.

Looking ahead to more positive things, next week Washburn has their homecoming game. They'll be matched up against the 4-2 Northwest Missouri State University Griffons in what's sure to be a very exciting and entertaining game. The Griffons have proven to be a formidable opponent by beating many of the teams Washburn has been defeated by. Let's hope the Bods are ready for a tough one and they can get the win.

The game will be on October 18th at 1 p.m in Yager Stadium.
