Crimson Storm Unable To Handle the Wonder Boys

SNU Football drops final home game of the season to Arkansas Tech, 47-3

BETHANY, Okla. — Southern Nazarene dropped its final home contest of the season Saturday afternoon, falling 47-3 to Arkansas Tech.

The Crimson Storm (2-6, 2-6 GAC) got on the board early but struggled to keep pace with the Wonder Boys (4-5, 4-5 GAC), who scored 40 unanswered points after the first quarter.

Arkansas Tech struck quickly to open the game. Carter Hensley found Trey Nelson for a 73-yard touchdown on the third play of the afternoon to make it 7-0 at the 13:35 mark in the first. 

SNU answered with its best drive of the day, going 41 yards on 11 plays over 6:41 to set up a 28-yard field goal from Brett Leonardt at 6:46 to cut it to 7-3. That would be the final points of the day for the Crimson Storm. Tech responded just over two minutes later for a 32-yard score to push it to 14-3.

The Wonder Boys broke it open in the second quarter. ATU punched in a 1-yard run at 11:41, and 12 seconds later Sean Berry returned a fumble 39 yards for a touchdown to make it 28-3. Tech then added a 9-yard rushing touchdown with 1:17 left in the half on the end of a 13-play, 90-yard drive that ate 7:02 of clock to give Arkansas Tech a 35-3 lead at the break.

Arkansas Tech added to its lead in the second half with a 7-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and two field goals in the fourth to close out the 47-3 final.

Southern Nazarene was held to 162 yards of total offense

On the ground, SNU rushed for 148 yards on 41 carries. Maddox Olatunde led the way with 64 yards on 17 attempts, while Kaden Manuel added 25 yards on 6 carries and Karomo Collins added 22 yards. Cash Ethredge added 12 receiving yards. 

Defensively, Wyatt Brown led SNU with 11 total tackles and a tackle for loss. Matt Stuckey added 9 tackles with 8 solo stops, and Noah Cockerham finished with 8 solo tackles and a tackle for loss.
