Washburn @ MSSU

This weeks game was a tough one to say the least.  The Ichabods dominated almost every aspect of the game except for one very important part, turnovers. To start Washburn won the coin toss, elected to recieve, and immediately drove the ball down the field to take the lead 7-0, but it was all downhill from there.  MSSU pounded the ball with there rushing game and had a total of 5 touchdowns on the ground, as their defense came up with 4 key interceptions which ultimately decided the game with a final score of 42-21 snapping Wahburn's 9 game win streak against the Lions. As dissapointing as the loss was we did have some positive perfomances come out of it, for example running back Vershon Moore had 185 all-purpose yards and a touchdown and wideout DeJuan Beard had 7 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown.

Things could possibly be looking up for the 1-3 Ichabods as they play Fort Hays State University this upcoming Saturday. Fort Hays just upset highly touted Pittsburg State on Saturday and could be coming into this game overconfident seeing Washburn's poor record. Although the Bods' have definitely played better than their record shows.

The game will start at 1 pm on October 4th at Yager Stadium.

Washburn @ MSSU Game Preview

With the upcoming away game against Missouri Southern State University I thought I'd do a little game preview.
The Lions are coming into this game with the same record as the Ichabods at 1-2. With losses against number 1 ranked Northwest Missouri and number 22 ranked Emporia State and their only win coming against Nebraska-Kearney, which is the same team Washburn has beaten. These two teams haven't played since 2011 but if history repeats itself Washburn is bound to have a victory having won the past 9 matchups. MSSU has a unique triple offense that utilizes a relentless rushing attack while rarely passing. This offense can prove tricky for defenses who don't prepare so lets hope co-defensive coordinators Brock Luke and Zach Watkins have our defense ready.

The game will be at Hughes Stadium in Joplin Missouri on September 27th at 6:30 pm

Game 3 Pitt State @ Washburn

This Saturday Washburn was matched up against the number 8 ranked Pittsburg State Gorillas. This game was the MIAA game of the week and was was a great matchup on paper but in reality the Gorillas had this one won before they stepped on the field. Pitt State was ranked number 8 for a reason and they came out planning to show why as they demolished the Ichabods in all aspect of the game. At halftime the score was 28-0 with the Gorilla's showing no signs of letting up. A few minutes after half there was a lighting delay and at that point many of the fans proceeded to leave. The final score was 42-0 with Pitt devastating Wahburn.
Washburn's next game is against Joplin's Missouri Southern State as they'll be trying to bounce back  from their difficult loss.

Footall is Here!

Howdy Folks my name is Tyler Buchanan and this is my blog about the Wahburn Ichabod football team. I decided to write about the team because I love the game of football and what's better than writing about something you love? Nothing, that's what so if you wanna know how the Ichabods are doing just click into my blog and you'll be sure to find out.

It's football season ladies and gentlemen! This year is bound to be an exciting one and Washburn is looking to have an alright season. The offense is filled with very experienced players at all the skill positions, so be prepared to see lots of points on that new scoreboard. The Defense is looking stout with an all around good secondary along with some solid run support.

So far the Ichabod's have played some good football with a record of 1-1. They lost a heart breaker against Lindenwood 38-44 at home. Then defeated Kearney 10-7 with a field goal at the end to win.
Their next game is at home against Pittsburg State.
