LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Illinois' breakout season keeps getting better.

The Illini's 26-9 win over Nebraska on Saturday was nothing flashy, just workmanlike. Chase Brown and the top defense in the country did what they've been doing all year, and now No. 17 Illinois is on a six-game win streak for the first time since 2011.

“Our guys are locked into the moment,” second-year coach Bret Bielema said. “When you get better and better, everyone wants to talk about where you’re going to end up. What we need to concentrate on is the journey, and to get to where we are today has been probably one of the most enjoyable journeys I’ve ever been on in my life.”

Brown rushed for 149 yards and scored on consecutive series in the second quarter to help the Big Ten West-leading Illini (7-1, 4-1) beat the Cornhuskers for the third year in a row and secure their first winning regular-season record since 2007.

“I tell these guys all the time that I’ve been around some championship teams, and this team is that same caliber if not better,” Bielema said. “We're an exceptional defense and we have playmakers on literally both sides of the ball and in the kicking game.”

Nebraska (3-5, 2-3) committed four turnovers and dropped its 20th straight against a Top 25 opponent.

The Huskers lost quarterback Casey Thompson to a right arm injury in the second quarter. Interim coach Mickey Joseph said Thompson's elbow got hit, causing finger numbness. Logan Smothers finished the second quarter, and Chubba Purdy played the entire second half.

Illinois' Tommy DeVito was 20 of 22 for 179 yards and two touchdowns. His 91% completion rate was a Memorial Stadium record for visiting quarterbacks with at least 20 attempts.

The Illini held Nebraska to 29 yards on 20 plays in the second half and 248 for the game, the fewest by the Huskers since they finished with the same number against Michigan State in 2018. Trey Palmer, coming off a school-record 237-yard receiving performance against Purdue, caught one pass for 1 yard.

“Our guys took away some of their better players," Bielema said, "and obviously when their quarterback went out that made a big difference.”

Brown, the national rushing leader, extended his school-record streak of games with at least 100 yards to nine.

He scored on a 1-yard run and a 12-yard reception in the second quarter to put Illinois up 20-9 at half.

His short TD run came two plays after his twin brother Sydney Brown intercepted Thompson’s tipped pass and returned it 37 yards to the Nebraska 11.

The Huskers then went three-and-out, and DeVito finished an 11-play, 72-yard drive with his pass to Chase Brown with 23 seconds left in the half.

Brown also made a key downfield block to give Isaiah Williams a clear path to the end zone on a 46-yard catch-and-run on Illinois' opening possession.

Williams’ unforced error in the second half put Nebraska in position to cut into the lead. Williams caught a pass in open field and, untouched, dropped the ball at his 23 for the Illini’s first lost fumble in five games.

The Huskers gave the ball right back when Sydney Brown picked off his second pass on Purdy’s ill-advised throw into the middle of the field, and they never advanced past their own 26 on their final four possessions.

“We came out with a great game plan and didn’t execute,” tight end Travis Vokolek said, “so I give all props to Illinois’ defense. Great team. Tough-nosed football team.”

Illinois: The Illini beat a West opponent for the fifth straight time. Brown, who came in with a nation-high 27.4 carries per game, ran 32 times and the Illini had a 16-minute advantage in time of possession.

Nebraska: Everything changed for the Huskers when Thompson went out in the second quarter. The Huskers gained just 34 yards the rest of the game.

Illinois missed out on three points, calling timeout just before Caleb Griffin split the uprights with what would have been a 52-yard field goal. When the Illini lined up for the second try, they were called for a false start and forced to punt.

The Illini will be in line for a promotion after three teams ahead of them in the Top 25 lost. They haven't been in the top 15 since 2007.

Illinois: Hosts Michigan State for the teams' first meeting since 2019.

#17 Illinois tops Huskers 26-9

BY: CON MARSHALL CSC Sports Information

&nbsp; Defenses dominated Saturday when the Chadron State Eagles downed the New Mexico Highlands Cowboys 17-3 in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference game played under perfect weather conditions in Chadron. The combined 20 points scored are the fewest in the 30-year series, and each year since 2000, at least 40 points were posted on the scoreboard.&nbsp; In 2017 the total was 90 point and the next year it was 81.&nbsp; The quarterbacks could attest to the defensive aggressiveness. The Eagles sacked Highlands' Gage Guardiola eight times and the Cowboys dumped Chadron State's Heath Beemiller four times before he got rid of the ball.&nbsp; The Eagles are now 3-6 overall and Highlands is 3-4. Both are 3-4 in the conference.&nbsp;&nbsp; Chadron State scored first on its opening possession, when Gunnar Jones kicked a 37-yard field goal just four minutes into the game.&nbsp; A 37-yard pass from Beemiller to Grant Swensen in the middle of the field set up the score. There were just 41 seconds left in the first half when Highlands' Will McDaniel tied the score with his 42-yard boot. Three passes totaling 40 yards thrown Guardiola to pesky wide receiver Quavon Beckford preceded field goal. The score was not tied long. On the Eagles' second play following the Cowboys' short kickoff, Beemiller hooked up with wide receiver Ahlonte Hair on about a 25-yard toss along the north sidelines.&nbsp; Like a tight rope walker, Hair stayed in bounds while outrunning and out-juking a couple Highlands' defenders to complete the 52-yard play, the day's longest of any dimension. Jones's extra point put the Eagles ahead 10-3. The game's only other touchdown came with 4:34 left in the third quarter, when the Eagles put together a 72-yard drive that includes the 10 yards Beemiller lost when he was sacked midway in the drive. But the junior quarterback, playing in his second game after missing three because of a knee injury, got up off the turf and avoided the Cowboys' persistent rush to complete his next three passes.&nbsp; They were a 16-yarder to running back&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/jalen-starks/4621">Jalen Starks</a>, who turned the corner and romped upfield after making the catch, an 11-yard strike to tight end&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/peter-krohn/4596">Peter Krohn</a>&nbsp;over the middle and a short toss to wideout Jamal Browder, who made the grab in traffic and fought his way into the end zone to complete the eight-yard-yard play.&nbsp; Jones closed out the scoring by adding the PAT. Scoring opportunities were rare for both teams. Midway in the second quarter after the Eagles tried to run out of punt formation on fourth down and failed. Highlands reached the Chadron State 18, but when running back Malakai Rango appeared to be on his way to the goal line, he was hit by linebacker&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/xavier-harrell/4587">Xavier Harrell</a>&nbsp;at about the five-yard line, fumbled and CSC safety&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/dax-yeradi/4632">Dax Yeradi</a>&nbsp;recovered the ball on the end zone for a touchback. Late in the game, three interceptions kept the teams from rallying. The Eagles got the first and the last picks, both on tipped balls. The exchanges helped emphasize that defenses were in control.&nbsp; &nbsp; Guardiola's pass was tipped by linebacker&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/joey-geil/4203">Joey Geil</a>&nbsp;and cornerback Bobbie Peele dove and caught the ball just before it hit the turf.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Eagles took over on their 28 and promptly moved to midfield on Dorian Collier's 23-yard rush up the middle. But after picking up another first down, Beemiller's pass was grabbed by Highland's Ben Sutton a few inches in front of the intended receiver. However, on Highlands' first play after the exchange, Eagles' defensive linemen collaborated to get the ball back for their offense.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/trevon-smith/4269">Trevon Smith</a>&nbsp;tipped the pass at the line of scrimmage to&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/kien-martin/4604">Kien Martin</a>. Chadron State finished with 383 total net yards, mostly through the air. Beemiller completed 20 of 31 passes for 278 yards. Eight Eagles caught passes with Hair three for 65 yards, Browder four for 57 and&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/montel-gladney/4583">Montel Gladney</a>&nbsp;four for 41 to lead the way.&nbsp; Collier was the CSC rushing leader with 12 carries for 60 yards. Highlands was limited to 255 yards with Rango rushing 20 times for 138 yards. Guardiola connected on half of his 28 passes for 119 yards.&nbsp; Beckford had nine of the receptions for 86 yards, but the Cowboys' top receiver coming into the game and last year's RMAC Offensive Player of the Year, CJ Sims, had just three receptions for 21 yards.

Some of the most dramatic images in World Series history are 
ingrained in the minds of baseball fans thanks to television coverage. 
This year’s World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston 
Astros will surely bring another timeless highlight to the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/03/2021-world-series-ratings-braves-astros-game-6-draws-14point3-million.html">12 million or so viewers</a> expected to watch.

Yet the first 43 World Series weren’t televised at all. It wasn’t 
until the 1947 series between the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers –
 75 years ago – that fans could watch their favorite players duke it out
 on screen. 

As I detail in my book “<a href="https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/bison-original/9780803248250/">Center Field Shot: A History of Baseball on Television</a>,”
 which I co-authored with Robert Bellamy, the telecasts became a 
sensation. They drew millions of Americans to a new medium at a time 
when there were no national networks, only a handful of stations and 
somewhere between 50,000 and 60,000 TVs in the entire country.

In August 1947, the television industry anticipated a possible 
all-New York World Series: The Yankees had a huge lead in the American 
League, while the Dodgers also held a substantial one in the National 
League.  

If the two teams met in October, New York’s three television stations – run by NBC ABC, and the now-extinct <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/DuMont-Television-Network">DuMont</a> – decided they wanted to cover the games.

But the rights to televise the games were held by the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Mutual-Broadcasting-System">Mutual Broadcasting System</a>,
 a radio network that had no television division. Thus, Mutual would 
need to farm out the coverage to one or more New York stations.

Although no national television network existed at the time, NBC, 
DuMont and CBS did have the means to link stations on the Eastern 
Seaboard through a combination of coaxial cable, microwave and 
over-the-air broadcast transmissions, expanding the potential audience 
for the World Series. The Series would air on eight stations in four 
markets: New York City, Philadelphia, Washington and Schenectady, New 
York.

While the Yankees-Dodgers series materialized, the televising of the Series almost didn’t. 

The predictable stumbling block was money. Baseball commissioner <a href="https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/chandler-happy">Albert B. “Happy” Chandler</a>
 wanted $100,000 for the television rights to the Series. Gillette, the 
sponsor of the radio coverage on the Mutual Broadcasting System, balked 
at the steep price given television’s limited penetration – only 50,000 
to 60,000 U.S. households owned TVs at the time. The radio rights to 
reach the nation’s 29 million homes with radios had cost Mutual only 
$175,000.

Initial negotiations produced an offer of $60,000 from two sponsors: Gillette and the Ford Motor Company. New York’s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Liebmann">Liebmann Breweries</a>
 offered to meet Chandler’s $100,000 demand, but the commissioner 
refused because he did not want beer ads when youngsters would be 
prominent members of the audience.

Even before a coverage deal had been finalized, bars, restaurants, 
television dealers, department stores, automobile dealerships and movie 
theaters started advertising the event, urging customers to come by to 
watch the World Series on television. And in the days and weeks leading 
up to the Fall Classic, the demand for television sets spiked. 

The excitement pressured Chandler and the sponsors to reach a compromise.   

Finally, on Sept. 26, just four days before Game 1 at Yankee Stadium, Chandler, Gillette and Ford <a href="https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1947/1947-10-06-BC.pdf">agreed to $65,000 for the rights to televise the World Series</a>.
 Production costs added another $35,000 to the sponsors’ bill. Mutual, 
Gillette and Ford also agreed to allow all three New York TV stations 
and those connected to them to broadcast the game, providing the widest 
possible exposure.

Initial industry estimates had the Series reaching between 600,000 
and 700,000 viewers, many of them located in the bars and restaurants 
where a substantial number of the nation’s first television receivers 
were located.  

But that forecast ended up being conservative. Although home viewing for the seven games was substantial – 450,000 in a <a href="https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/40s/1947/BB-1947-10-18.pdf">Hooper rating survey commissioned by Billboard</a>
 – the out-of-home viewing numbers were extraordinary: Another 3.5 
million were estimated to have viewed the World Series in public 
locales.

Hooper’s survey found that an average of 82 customers showed up at 
each of these public locations to watch at least some of the World 
Series. Variety reported that bar owners saw a 500% increase in patrons 
during the Series, with some offering reservations to their regulars for
 a choice location near the TV set.

What viewers from those choice seats saw was primitive by today’s 
standards. The screen was usually small – 12 diagonal inches or less. 
The low-definition images were black and white and came from just a few 
cameras. No extreme close-ups were possible. There was no instant 
replay, so fans had to pay attention or the moment was lost. 

But for the first time, they were seeing the World Series live, and for free.

The audience liked what they saw. <a href="https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/40s/1947/BB-1947-10-11.pdf">Billboard</a>,
 quoting The Newark Evening News, reported that TV “audiences hung on 
every turn of the video cameras and the ‘oohs and aahs’ at a slide or 
strikeout were something radio broadcasters would give their eye teeth 
to hear.”

It didn’t hurt that <a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/1947_WS.shtml">the 1947 World Series</a> ended up being so dramatic. The Yankees prevailed in seven games, but Brooklyn owned the two greatest moments.

In the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 4, Dodgers pitch hitter <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWjpOAy5zCM">Cookie Lavagetto ended Yankee starter Bill Biven’s no-hit bid</a> with a two-out hit, driving in two runs and sending the Dodgers to a 3-2 win. Then, in Game 6, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SrtxVs8uMI">Al Gionfriddo’s stunning catch of Joe DiMaggio’s deep drive to left field</a> helped preserve an 8-6 Dodgers victory, leading legendary Dodgers broadcaster <a href="https://books.google.com/books/about/Red_Barber.html?id=lWhgEAAAQBAJ">Red Barber</a> to exclaim, “Oh, Doctor!”

The Washington broadcasts even reached the White House, where 
President Harry S. Truman, his staff and the D.C. press corps watched 
some of the contests. The <a href="https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Televiser/Televiser-1947-09-10.pdf">industry magazine Televiser</a>
 reported an enthusiastic response from the White House viewers: “If TV 
can do as good a job as that on perhaps the most difficult of all 
subjects to televise, then it really has arrived.”

The public’s embrace of the World Series on television, along with 
the generous coverage of the telecasts by the press, provided an 
important boost to the nascent television industry. The Sporting News 
reported that the first televised World Series increased sales for new 
receivers in New York to levels not seen since the early days of radio. 
Similar reports came from dealers in Washington and Philadelphia.

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sarnoff">David Sarnoff</a>,
 chairman of RCA – which owed NBC and was a leading manufacturer of 
receivers – regarded television’s coverage of baseball and its crowning 
event, the World Series, as one of the most important factors in 
triggering the growth of the new medium.

Television makers, <a href="https://books.google.com/books/about/Center_Field_Shot.html?id=6kPQhpS-X8YC">he concluded</a>,
 “had to have baseball games and if [baseball owners] had demanded 
millions for the rights, we would have had to give it to them.”

The television industry eventually did pay millions and then billions for those rights. <a href="https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2018/11/15/Media/MLB-Fox.aspx">Fox’s latest seven-year contract</a>, including rights to the World Series, pays Major League Baseball $5.1 billion.

Happy Chandler’s 1947 demand for a $100,000 seems like quite a bargain today.

🔊 PODCAST: CSC Sports Journal - Hunter O’Connor - 10/26/22

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Mickey Joseph slipped up in his role as Nebraska’s interim head coach Tuesday when he responded to a reporter’s comment and question about a standout high school player who recently pledged to sign with the Cornhuskers.

Malachi Coleman, a four-star wide receiver from Lincoln East High, held an event Saturday to announce he had chosen Nebraska over five other schools. He is the highest-rated prospect in the state.

The first day he can sign his letter of intent is Dec. 21. NCAA rules prohibit coaches from commenting on an unsigned prospective recruit.

A reporter at the Huskers' weekly news conference interrupted as Joseph was answering another question.

“You got Malachi Coleman this weekend,” the reporter said.

“I wasn't finished answering that question,” Joseph said.

The reporter apologized, and Joseph said, “I'm just joking. You're so uptight. But, no, right, we got Malachi."

Asked if he had spoken to Coleman since the announcement, Joseph said, "Well, he said six months ago he wasn't coming, so you put the pieces together."

Joseph was named interim coach Sept. 11, the same day Scott Frost was fired after the Huskers' 1-2 start.

Joseph smirked immediately after making the comment and as he walked out of the news conference he asked athletic department media relations staffers if he had made a mistake.

Spokesman Keith Mann wrote in an email to The Associated Press that Joseph contacted the school's compliance office immediately after the news conference to make its staff aware of the comment.

According to Bylaw 13.10.1.1 in the 2022-23 NCAA manual, an institution "is precluded from commenting in any manner as to the likelihood of the prospective student-athlete committing to or signing with that institution."

🏐 UPDATED: Nebraska Volleyball Subdistrict Playoffs - Scoreboard

BY: KALEB CENTER&nbsp; CSC Sports Information Director

&nbsp; The University of Nebraska Cornhuskers capitalized on its advantages in the paint, and took advantage of bench depth, to top the Chadron State College Eagles 87-60 in an exhibition matchup in Lincoln on Sunday afternoon. "Obviously, they're a Big Ten opponent," said CSC Head Men's Basketball Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/coaches.aspx?rc=551">Shane Paben</a>. "They were able to grab offensive rebounds and get points underneath the basket, just because of their sheer size. But we competed and gave great effort, and we were only down six just before the first media timeout of the second half. It was a great experience for the team the whole weekend." The Huskers started slowly. CSC either led or was tied for the first five and a half minutes, thanks in part to a 1-for-5 opening rally by Nebraska. CSC junior forward&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8506">Porter Anderson</a>&nbsp;got under the basket for a dunk in the game's opening score, assisted by senior wing&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8511">MJ Foust</a>, and junior transfer guard&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8513">Bryce Latimer</a>&nbsp;started 3-for-3 as part of a 9-for-15 start for the Eagles. CSC began rotating in reserves at the first media timeout, and continued looking at new lineups roughly every four minutes. Nebraska broke out of its funk at 14:27 with a dunk by senior forward Derrick Walker giving the Huskers their first lead at 11-9. That spurred a 14-2 run which put the team ahead for good. CSC kept the score manageable for the remainder of the first half, and went into halftime down 43-28. Coming out of the midpoint break, the Eagles scored 10 of the first 11 points in the second half. Nebraska missed three of four free throws and its first three consecutive field goals, coming out of the gate cold once more. CSC cut the lead to 44-38 at the 16:30 mark. The Huskers then recovered to hit more than half of their shots the rest of the way, while the Eagles shot just 33%. Nebraska, which started the game 2-for-16 from the three point line, finished 4-for-8 down the stretch and led by as many as 34, at 5:02 left in the game. At that point both teams tried to get as many players in the game as possible, and the CSC reserves closed it to a 27-point spread. Latimer and junior guard&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8525">Freddy Reeves, Jr.</a>, finished with 12 and 10 points, respectively, while playing fewer than 20 minutes each. Junior guard&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8518">Isaiah Wyatt</a>&nbsp;led CSC with six boards. The game high in scoring went to Nebraska's junior forward Juwan Gary, who also had a game-high nine rebounds. Senior guard Sam Griesel added 14 points. On the boards, Nebraska led CSC 48 to 33, taking a 16-point advantage in the paint and a 15-point lead in second chance points. The difference was not as decisive on the offensive glass, where the Eagles managed to wrangle 13 balls to the opponents' 19. "We have some things we can go back and work on, like untimely turnovers, but we're not going to see any team like that for the rest of the year, said Paben."

CSC falls out of playoff spot after weekend sweeps

&nbsp; Quarterback Hunter Raquet connected with wide receiver Andrew Cook for four touchdown passes as homestanding Colorado State-Pueblo defeated Chadron State 34-12 in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference game Saturday afternoon. After Chadron State posted the game's opening touchdown, the first of the Raquet-to-Cook TD passes was a 12-yarder that came as the first quarter was ending and tied the score at 6-6. Since both teams' extra point attempts were blocked, both also missed field goal attempts and neither got much going offensively in the first half, it was still 6-6 at halftime.&nbsp; Pueblo had just 156 yards and Chadron State only 104 at intermission. The Eagles scored their touchdown with 4:38 left in the opening quarter on a seven-yard pass play from quarterback&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8322">Heath Beemiller</a>&nbsp;to wide receiver&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4622">Grant Swenson</a>, who caught the ball at about the five and spun past two defenders into the end zone.&nbsp; The 30-yard drive began when CSC defensive tackle&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4269">Trevon Smith</a>&nbsp;forced a ThunderWolves' back to fumble and also recovered the bobble. Chadron State had another golden opportunity to score in the final minute of the first half when all-star cornerback&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5697">Bobby Peele</a>&nbsp;picked off Raquet's pass and raced 35 yards with it before the Pueblo quarterback tackled him at the three-yard line.&nbsp; However, the Wolves' highly-respected goal line defense wouldn't budge and forced the Eagles to attempt a 19-yard field goal that was wide to the left. The Eagles' disappointment may have carried over into the second half. &nbsp;Raquet and Cook were definitely hot in the third period, when they hooked up on TD passes of 31, 10 and 63 yards to give their team a 27-6 lead. Raquet also ran three yards with three minutes left in the game for the game's final touchdown.&nbsp;&nbsp; Earlier in the final frame, the Eagles drove deep into Pueblo territory twice, but had to settle for field goals of 27 and 28 yards by&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8248">Gunnar Jones</a>. Although he was sacked five times. Raquet, a senior transfer from Jacksonville State via his hometown of Santa Cruz, Calif., completed 17 of 27 passes for 333 yards.&nbsp; Cook, a sophomore from Tucson, had five receptions totaling 159 yards, including the four that went for touchdowns. Senior Max Fine also caught seven of Raquet's passes for 146 yards. Chadron State got a gutsy performance from its quarterback, Beemiller, who completed 24 of 36 passes for 159 yards and the TD. A transfer from Northern Arizona, Beemiller started and played nearly all of the Eagles' first three games before suffering a knee injury that sidelined him from the next three contests.&nbsp; His initial replacement, sophomore&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4585">Mason Hamilton</a>, played most of the fourth game before departing with a dislocated shoulder that apparently has ended his season. That brought on redshirt freshman&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8268">Preston Pearson</a>, who guided the Eagles to wins over Fort Lewis and Adams State the last two weeks, but he sustained a foot injury late the second game that makes his availability questionable for the rest of the schedule. Beemiller also left the field late in Saturday's game favoring the knee he had previously injured. During his post-game interview, Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/coaches.aspx?rc=503">Jay Long</a>&nbsp;said he was concerned that the new injury may be serious, meaning the Eagles may have to use their fourth-string quarterback this coming Saturday when they host New Mexico Highlands.&nbsp; The Eagles also are banged up at other positions. Long said they were missing seven starters Saturday, including the three starting wide receivers during the early games.&nbsp; Swenson, a sophomore, did a great job of helping fill that breach at Pueblo, catching nine passes for 70 yards. Altogether Pueblo finished with 443 total net yards and Chadron State with 234. Neither team was productive on the ground. The ThunderWolves ran the ball 36 times for 110 yards the Eagles 35 for 75. <a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4621">Jalen Starks</a>&nbsp;paced CSC with 18 carries for 61 yards and Austin Bacher led Pueblo with 12 for 55. Among the game's standouts was the Eagles' sophomore defensive end&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4610">Hunter O'Connor</a>, who was credited with 3.5 quarterback sacks, broke up a pass and participated in a game-high 10 tackles. Next on the Eagles' tackle chart was senior safety&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4186">Brendan Brehmer</a>&nbsp;with eight. "We changed our defensive front this week," said Long, "from a tight formation to a wider one. Hunter has really provided a great rush in that formation. Today was one of those days he really stood out." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CSC&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CSU-P First Downs&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 15&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 19 Total Net Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 235 &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 443 Rushes, Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 35-75 &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 36-110 Passing Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 159&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; 333 Passing&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 24-37-1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17-27-1 Return Yard&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 52&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 89 Punts, Average&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7-38.1 &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; 4-32.8 Fumbles, Lost&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1-0 &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1-1 Penalties, Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8-80 &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 11-105 Chadron State&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6 &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ---12 CSU-Pueblo&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 21&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;---34 CSC—<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4622">Grant Swenson</a>&nbsp;7 pass from&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8322">Heath Beemiller</a>&nbsp;(kick failed) CSU-P—Andrew Cook 12 pass from Hunter Raquet (kick failed) CSU-P—Cook 31 pass from Raquet (Sullivan Moon kick) CSU-P—Cook 10 pass from Raquet (Moon kick) CSU-P—Cook 63 pass from Raquet (Moon kick) CSC—<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8248">Gunnar Jones</a>&nbsp;27 field goal CSC—Jones 28 field goal CSU-P—Raquet 3 run (Moon kick)&nbsp;&nbsp;

🔊 PODCAST: Jay Long Show - 10/8/22

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Justin Herbert didn't throw a touchdown pass for the first time in 27 games. For once, it didn't matter thanks to the Los Angeles Chargers special teams.

Dustin Hopkins kicked four field goals, including a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nfl.com/videos/dustin-hopkins-gw-39-yard-fg-in-ot-sends-chargers-faithful-home-happy">39-yarder with 2:38 remaining in overtime</a>, as the Chargers rallied for a 19-16 victory over the Denver Broncos.

Hopkins, who injured a hamstring during the first half, grimaced as he kicked the ball and fell to the ground before being picked up by teammates. The ninth-year kicker was inactive for last week's game against Cleveland due to a quadriceps injury.

Hopkins' heroics were set up when Deane Leonard recovered a muffed punt at the Denver 28-yard line.

Herbert, who is still recovering from fractured rib cartilage from a hit one month ago, appreciated Hopkins being able to gut it out.

“We’ve got so much respect for him. For him to go out there and play and put up with some pain like that, it was great to see,” said Herbert, whose 56 attempts without a TD pass is an NFL record in a win.

Coach Brandon Staley said Hopkins' hamstring kind of cramped up early, but started to loosen up during the second half.

“You can’t say enough about him hanging in there," Staley said. "At the end we had no choice. We were going to kick no matter what.”

Hopkins has five games with four or more field goals. It is also the first OT game-winner of his career.

“I was trying to focus on a little backswing and just get through the ball. And that was it,” Hopkins said. “I wasn’t thinking about the circumstance or anything like that.”

The Chargers have won three straight to improve to 4-2. They are tied with Kansas City atop the AFC West. It is the first time in franchise history they have rallied from a double-digit deficit at the end of the first quarter to win.

Los Angeles was down 14-3 at the end of the first quarter last Sunday in Cleveland before pulling out a 30-28 win.

This game appeared to be headed toward a tie until Denver's Montrell Washington muffed JK Scott's punt at the Broncos 32-yard line. It was recovered by Deane Leonard at the 28.

Washington called for a fair catch, but Denver safety P.J. Locke didn't hear Washington and tried to block Ja'Sir Taylor when Locke bumped into Washington.

“I just saw the returner running up, he was kind of relaxed, and then his teammate was just standing there," Taylor said. "At first, if you go back, I paused a little bit, and then it just clicked in my head like, ‘Oh, just throw him onto the returner.’ And it happened, and the ball came out.”

Herbert, who completed 37 of 57 for 238 yards and an interception, passed to Mike Williams for 9 yards on third-and-12 from the Denver 30 to get Hopkins closer.

Russell Wilson was 15 of 28 for 188 yards and a touchdown for the Broncos (2-4), who dropped a game in overtime for the second straight week.

“We felt like we could have won the game, and then we had the fluke play at the end. It didn’t work out, but everybody is together,” Wilson said.

Denver jumped out to a 10-0 lead with scores on the first two drives. Brandon McManus was good from 51 yards midway through the first, and Wilson found a wide-open&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nfl.com/videos/can-t-miss-play-wilson-s-39-yard-loft-to-dulcich-nets-te-s-first-nfl-td">Greg Dulcich for a 39-yard touchdown</a>&nbsp;with 1:49 remaining in the quarter.

Dulcich's TD was the first of his career and the Broncos' first in 87 minutes, 54 seconds.

The Chargers answered on their ensuing possession, putting together a 15-play, 82-yard drive that was capped by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nfl.com/videos/austin-ekeler-enters-beast-mode-on-bruising-6-yard-td-run">Austin Ekeler's 6-yard run up the middle</a>&nbsp;with his linemen helping him get across the goal line.

Following a Denver three-and-out, Los Angeles evened it at 10 on Hopkins' 37-yard field goal with 53 seconds remaining in the half.

The Broncos were not content to run out the clock though. KJ Hamler hauled in a 47-yard pass to the LA 28. Denver got to the Chargers 9 before McManus was good from 27 yards.

The Chargers tied it on their first drive of the third quarter when Hopkins split the uprights from 31 yards.

The teams traded field goals in the fourth quarter. McManus was good from 48 yards after Baron Browning picked off Herbert. The Chargers answered with Hopkins making it from 35.

“This is very disappointing,” Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett said. “We had some opportunities there, and we’ve got to execute at a higher level. We’ve got to come up with some better plays.”

Herbert had a 26-game TD pass streak snapped. It was the third-best run in franchise history and second-longest active streak in the league.

The teams combined for 19 penalties and a season-high 240 yards. The Broncos were flagged 10 times for 151 yards, the 24th time since 2000 a team has drawn more than 150 penalty yards, according to TruMedia.

The Broncos had four pass interference calls for 87 yards.

Ron Torbert’s crew had been conservative coming into the game. In their four previous contests this season, they averaged 12 flags for 92.8 yards.

Wilson's first nine completions were to nine different players. According to the NFL, he is the first player to complete his first nine attempts of a game to nine different receivers since at least 1991, when play-by-play data was first recorded.

Chargers: RB Joshua Kelley suffered a knee injury in the first quarter and did not return.

Broncos: Hackett said CB Essang Bassey (hamstring) and LB Aaron Patrick (knee) were sidelined during the game.

Broncos: Host the surprising New York Jets on Sunday.

Chargers: Host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Local Teams and Individuals to compete at State Cross Country Championships

&nbsp; It took some huge plays, but the Chadron State Eagles made enough of them to squeeze out a 29-27 victory over the Adams State Grizzlies in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference football game in Chadron on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles' big plays included a pair of 57-yard field goals with the wind and a 35-yarder into the wind by&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8248">Gunnar Jones</a>&nbsp;and a six-yard blast into the end zone by running back&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4621">Jalen Starks</a>&nbsp;with only 68 seconds remaining on the clock. The winning TD capped a 67-yard drive the saw Starks carry the ball eight times for 39 yards, as well as a 15-yard pass from redshirt freshman&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8268">Preston Pearson</a>&nbsp;to tight end&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4596">Peter Krohn</a>&nbsp;and a 10-yard pick up by Pearson, when he broke free after looking to pass and dove for the first down. &nbsp;&nbsp; Pearson also threw touchdown passes of 27 yards to tight end Krohn in the first quarter and 33 yards to&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8239">Ahlonte Hair</a>&nbsp;in the third quarter. Pearson completed 16 of 24 passes for 177 yards and Starks carried 20 times for 105 yards. The Eagles finished with 361 total net yards and the Grizzlies with 370. The Adams State attack featured the passing of quarterback Marckel Grayson.&nbsp; He completed 29 of 47 passes attempts for 317 yards and three touchdowns. &nbsp;&nbsp; Grayson's scoring passes were for 10 yards to Dequan Hopkins in the first period, 19 yards to Tracey Reynolds in the second and two yards to Kentrell Petite midway in the fourth.&nbsp; All three of those &nbsp;drives covered least 73 yards.&nbsp; Adams State also scored on a three-yard run by Daylen Boddie early in the third quarter to complete a 69-yard drive, giving the Grizzlies a touchdown in each quarter. The lead changed hands six times.&nbsp; The Eagles scored on their first possession on the Pearson to Krohn pass. &nbsp;The hosts tried a two-point conversion and failed. Adams State scored the next two touchdowns, but its PAT attempt after the second TD was blocked. The Eagles tied the count at 13 on the pass from Pearson to Hair and Jones's conversion kick. The senior from Alabama broke the tie on the final play of the first half when he booted the first of his two 57-yard shots.&nbsp; The Grizzlies reclaimed the lead 21-16 with 11 minutes left in the third frame on Boddie's three-yard run after Marckel had connected with Dom Flores on a 25-yard toss. Jones kicked field goals to post the next six points to put his team ahead 22-21. The first was the 35-yarder into the stiff west wind with five minutes left in the third quarter and second carried 57 yards again with the wind behind Jones' back him in the first minute of the fourth.&nbsp; None of the three field goals cleared the cross bar with much room to spare, but all three were right through the middle of the uprights. The 57-yarders matched the Chadron State record that was set by Aaron Turner in 2000, also against Adams State on the Eagles' Elliott Field.&nbsp; Adams State went 75 yards in 18 plays to reclaim the lead. The drive included passes of 12 and 19 yards from Grayson to Kentrell Petite before the pair connected again on the two-yard toss in the end zone on fourth down.&nbsp; The Grizzlies went for two points on the conversion, but the pass failed to connect, for what proved to be one of the game's deciding plays. &nbsp; Chadron State then put together its winning drive that featured Starks, a 6-3, 245-pound bulldozer who has now scored eight of the Eagles' nine rushing touchdowns this season. Led by Starks, the Eagles had 184 yards rushing while Adams State had only 53.&nbsp; But the Grizzlies threw for 317 and the Eagles 177. Both quarterbacks were intercepted once.&nbsp; Both teams punted only once. The Eagles are now 2-5 and the Grizzlies 1-6 for the season.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ASU&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CSC First Downs&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 27&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 19 Total Net Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 370&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 361 Rushes, Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 36-53&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 43-184 Passing Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 317&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; `177 Passing&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 29-47-1 &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16-24-1 Return Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 47&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 74 Punts, Average&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1-24&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1-54 Fumbles, Lost&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1-0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0-1 Penalties, Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4-37&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10-79 Adams State&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ---27 Chadron State&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 20 &nbsp; &nbsp; ---29 CSC—<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4596">Peter Krohn</a>&nbsp;27 pass from&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8268">Preston Pearson</a>&nbsp;(pass failed) ASU—Dequan Hopkins 10 pass from Markel Grayson (Gunnar Hernandez kick) ASU—Tracey Reynolds 19 pass from Grayson (kick failed) CSC—<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8239">Ahlonte Hair</a>&nbsp;33 pass from Pearson (<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8248">Gunnar Jones</a>&nbsp;kick) CSC—Jones 57 field goal CSC—Dylan Boddie 3 run (Aaron Johnson pass from Grayson) CSC—Jones 35 field goal CSC—Jones 57 field goal ASU—Kentrell Petite 2 pass from Grayson (pass failed) CSC—<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4621">Jalen Starks</a>&nbsp;6 run (Jones kick)&nbsp;&nbsp;
