Centre football pulls away to 38-20 win at Austin

SHERMAN, Texas – Centre football improved to 4-1 on the year and 2-1 in the Southern Athletic Association with an efficient performance as the Colonels defeated the Austin College Kangaroos by a score of 38-20.

HIGHLIGHTS

- After a three-and-out from the defense to start the game, Centre got on the board first on their opening possession as senior Ben Logsdon connected on a 39-yard field goal.

- A 59-yard strike from Tanner Young to Jaylon Hibbs provided most of the yardage of Centre's next drive, culminating with an 18-yard touchdown from Young to Jordan Gunter to put Centre up 10-0.

- Austin scored on their first drive of the second quarter, but Centre responded with a nine-play, 75-yard drive, punctuated by Colin Burnam's touchdown plunge. The Roos fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Luc Gendreau pounced on the ball, giving Centre a short field. Five plays later the Colonels capitalized as Burnam scored from four yards out and Centre had a 24-7 lead.

- The Roos marched down the field on their final drive of the half and had a first down at the Colonels' 1-yard line. Ryan Smith made stops on Austin's first two rushing attempts. After an incomplete pass on third down, Cruze Kerrigan stopped Colt Collins for no gain and the Colonels turned Austin over on downs heading into halftime.

- Logsdon opened the second half scoring with another field goal. The next time Centre had the ball, Young found Thomas Jordan for the Colonels' final touchdown of the game. Punter Jake Holloway ran in for a two-point conversion and Centre had a 35-7 lead. Logsdon's third field goal of the game capped off the scoring for the Colonels.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

- Despite being outgained in the game, the Colonels took advantage of their opportunities to score, putting points on the board all six times they entered the red zone. Austin only converted half of their red zone chances into points.

- Logsdon's extra point after the opening touchdown of the game gave the senior kicker 114 PATs in his career, establishing a new Centre career record.

- Young had another solid day for the Colonels, completing 12 of 20 passes for 235 yards and a pair of scores. Young averaged just under 20 yards per completion for the day.

- Defensively, Connor John, Carter Smith and Ryan Smith all led Centre with seven tackles. Carter Smith's six solo tackles were a team high. John recorded the lone sack of the game for the Colonels.
