The Fort Hays State University football team entered Saturday\u2019s senior day contest against Central Missouri fresh off an overtime win against Washburn last week. The Tigers carried that momentum late into the third quarter, building a 24-7 lead before the Mules scored 21 straight points to play spoiler, winning 28-24. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head Coach Chris Brown said other than a second-quarter interception, FHSU (5-5, 4-4) played well in the first half and could have scored more than their 10 points at halftime. However, according to Brown, the second half was a different story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt came down to playing very undisciplined. When you look at how many unsportsmanlike conduct penalties that we got in this game, and how many holding penalties, all those little things are costing you to win ball games,\u201d Brown said. \u201cIf you’re not disciplined, you’re not going to win football games. We were very undisciplined in the second half, and that’s what cost us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
