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.
