Falcons Test Ottawa Defense In Saturday Grid Tilt
Friends University travels to Wichita to challenge Ottawa University in a Kansas Conference clash. Ottawa stems from a strong pass offense led by Harold Rush and Jim Ellis, while Friends relies on limited senior experience and a deep, rotating defense. Coaches Peters Moore and OU backfield boss Frear focus on defensive backs and line play as the Falcons seek a result against FU’s aerial attack and trap plans.
