Fourth Quarter Field Goal Keeps Braves Reeling
Ottawa University Braves fall to 0-3 after McPherson College edges them 16-14 in KCAC action. Despite leads and strong defense, OU penalties and five second-half turnovers doomed the comeback, and quarterback Eric Stephens suffered a neck injury. McPherson, led by Robert Taylor and Gerald Henderson, relied on a late 28-yard field goal by Jim Yockey to seal the win.
