Kearney, Neb. – The Nebraska Kearney football team recorded its biggest comeback in 15 years after getting four rushing touchdowns from junior back Stone Wilson, recording five sacks and having three takeaways in a 35-24 decision over Central Oklahoma Saturday afternoon at Foster Field.
The Lopers (6-4, 4-4) secure their fourth winning season since joining the MIAA in 2012 (excluding the 2-0 COVID season of 2020) while the Bronchos slip to 4-5 (4-3).
Things didn't look promising as the 'Chos led 17-0 midway through the second quarter. The deficit could've been greater as the defense stopped UCO at the Loper 34 and 41-yard lines to start the day. Offensively, UNK first four drives included two turnovers, and a 38-yard missed field goal. One of the turnovers was a pick in the 'Chos end zone.
"What a big win for this program. It secures a winning season, which there haven't been many around here since we joined the MIAA, and gives us a chance at seven," said UNK head coach Ryan Held. "I'm so proud of our guys for keep fighting."
