UCO Downed At UCM

Central Oklahoma Can't Keep Pace With Central Missouri In Week 2 MIAA Game

WARRENSBURG, Mo. – Central Oklahoma couldn't keep pace with the high-octane offense of Central Missouri and lost 41-17 in Week 2 MIAA play Saturday afternoon.
 
The Bronchos (1-1, 1-1 MIAA) had an early lead and only trailed by four at halftime, but a sluggish second half cost UCO.
 
"We just couldn't get anything going in the second half and that's not good enough," UCO head football coach Adam Dorrel said. "We couldn't settle in and make a stop. And we couldn't get into a rhythm on offense and get anything going there. It was a tough day."
 
Central Oklahoma put up 332 yards of total offense on Saturday. Stephon Brown went 24-for-33 passing with 190 yards. He also had 11 carries for 45 yards and two touchdowns.
 
Terrill Davis was his primary target on offense. Davis had nine receptions for 78 yards. Christian Romero had a solid game too, catching five passes for 58 yards.
 
Trevon Woolfolk had 13 rushes for 67 yards to lead the run game for the Bronchos.
 
Defensively, Grant Lohr led the Bronchos with 10 tackles. Connor Johnson had nine, and Jack Puckett had seven tackles. Reed Lindsey, who had four tackles, had one sack.
 
UCO started the game strong with a defensive stop and then the Bronchos went down the field and took a 3-0 lead with a 30-yard field goal from Nicky Quevedo.
 
UCM had a big response and scored on the next possession to go up, 7-3, then its defense got an interception to set up short field and another Mules score that put the hosts up 14-3 in the first quarter.
 
The Bronchos made it exciting in the second quarter. Brown scored on a 14-yard touchdown run to cap off an 86-yard scoring drive to make it 14-10. After UCM extended its lead to 21-10, UCO went down for another score. It was Brown again, this time on a 7-yard scramble, and the 21-17 score stayed that way until halftime.
 
Unfortunately for the Bronchos, the second half was all UCM. While the third quarter nearly ended with no scores, a 7-yard touchdown pass with 26 seconds left made it 28-17.
 
UCM extended that lead with a big 27-yard touchdown score to go in front 35-17 with 13:35 to play in the fourth quarter. The final score came with 5:07 to play that made it 41-17.
 
Central Oklahoma returns home in Week 3. The Bronchos host Missouri Western at Chad Richison Stadium Saturday, Sept. 16 at 2 p.m. in the annual UCO Athletics Hall of Fame Game.
