GOODWELL, Okla. — Southern Nazarene nearly had its second shutout of the year if not for a last second touchdown as SNU took care of their final road game of the regular season with a 28-7 win over Oklahoma Panhandle State.

The Crimson Storm (7-2) controls their own destiny at this point and with two more wins can claim the Central States Football League title and clinch its first playoff berth in school history.

SNU scored a touchdown in each quarter and had three touchdowns come in different ways. The Storm had two touchdowns on the ground, one through the air and another interception returned for a touchdown.

The Storm almost had 400 yards of total offense with 287 through the air and 94 on the ground for 381 total yards. Brady Wardlaw threw for 123 yards and was 14-for-27. He scattered the ball to four different receivers as Jarod Martin had four receptions while Terrence Smith had three. Jordan Newby and Jakeil Everhart both had a pair of catches as well. Wardlaw threw for one touchdown and ran for another. Derick Perkins led the way on the ground with 55 yards on 15 carries and a touchdown.

Michael Hicks led the way on the defensive end with 15 tackles, the most in any game this season. He had four tackles for a loss of 14 yards, forced a fumble and returned an interception back for a touchdown. Trevon Hartfield also had a pick while Anderson Depee posted a pair of sacks for a loss of 17 yards.

Everhart was also a bright spot on special teams, not in returning punts, but punting. He had 331 yards on nine punts for an average of 36.8 yards per punt. He also had two inside the OPSU 20-yard line.

The Crimson Storm scored on their opening drive when Wardlaw capped an 8-play, 59-yard drive with a 3-yard run. SNU took a 14-0 late in the second quarter when Wardlaw hit Newby for a 48-yard strike after the two teams traded interceptions.

The Storm held a 14-0 lead in the third quarter and stretched it to 21-0 with 4:56 left when Perkins ended a 5-play, 30-yard drive with a 7-yard run. SNU took over at the OPSU 30-yard line after the Aggies fumbled.

SNU put its final touchdown on the board when Hicks picked off a Brendan Crawford pass ant took it 27 yards to the house to help give the Storm a 280 lead with 12:59 left in the game.

The Aggies had been held under 200 yards coming into their final drive, but Crawford hit two big passes in the 3:05 of the game, including a 54-yard strike to end the game.

Two games remain on the Storm's schedule and first up is Bacone. SNU hosts the Warriors, Nov. 5, for a 2 p.m. kickoff inside the SNU Football Stadium.
