Box Score

BETHANY, Okla. — Southern Nazarene scored three of its seven touchdowns off of interceptions returned back to the house in a 49-7 win over Texas College.
 
The Crimson Storm (6-2, 2-1 CSFL) got back into the win column after spending the last two weeks on the other side.
 
SNU had a 14-point lead early in the first and had just run four plays for a total of one yard after two interceptions returned for touchdowns. Deontae Mack notched his second pick of the season and took it 88 yards back for the score just two minutes before Matt Pruitt took another back 52 yards halfway through the first quarter. Stan West added another pick-six early in the fourth quarter after returning an interception 30 yards for a score.
 
The three interceptions totaled 170 yards in returns and set a school record for most interception return yards in a single-game. The previous record was 105 set against Southwestern Assemblies of God in 2005.
 
SNU also picked up three rushing touchdowns, two from Derick Perkins, and one touchdown through the air. Perkins ran for 31 yards on 11 carries while Damian Johnson ran for 84 yards and a touchdown on five carries. Brady Wardlaw threw for 117 yards on 17-of-25 passing. That also put Wardlaw over 2,000 passing yards for the season.
 
The Storm took a 21-0 lead into half on Johnson's touchdown that capped a 3-play, 80-yard drive with 6:46 left in the half. Johnson ended the drive with a 68-yard run in which he broke through a handful of tackles before breaking down the right sideline for the score.
 
Wardlaw hit David Balenseifen late in the third on a 9-yard strike to make it 28-0 before Perkins capped a 7-play, 45-yard drive early in the fourth to put the Storm on top 35-0. West's interception return gave SNU a 42-0 lead and Perkins added the final score with a 1-yard run to end a 5-play, 44-yard drive after Texas College's only points of the night.
 
The Storm now get set to make their last road trip of the year as they head out to Goodwell, Okla., to take on Oklahoma Panhandle State, Saturday, at 2 p.m.
