PITTSBURG, Kan. – Pittsburg State became the third MIAA school to complete a perfect regular season since the 11 conference-game model was adopted in 2014, joining Fort Hays State and Northwest Missouri State, by topping Fort Hays State 35-14 on Saturday (Nov. 12). The Gorillas moved to 11-0 and prepare for the NCAA playoffs, while the Tigers finished their season at 3-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fort Hays State produced the first score with a touchdown on the opening drive of the game. Jack Dawson<\/a><\/dfn> scrambled along the right sideline and dove for the pylon on a 10-yard run, putting the Tigers up 7-0 after a 12-play, 67-yard drive. The Gorillas responded with a 12-play drive of their own, going 59 yards to pick up a 2-yard touchdown run by Caleb Lewis. Both drives chewed up over 12 total minutes on the clock and the score was knotted at 7-7 after one quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pittsburg State took the lead early in the second quarter on a 29-yard touchdown pass from Chad Dodson Jr. to Kolbe Katsis. But that was all the scoring for either team in the frame as the Gorillas held a 14-7 advantage at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gorillas widened their lead in the third quarter by scoring a pair of touchdowns and holding the Tigers without a first down and just eight yards of total offense. Antwan Squire had a two-yard touchdown run and Dodson Jr. found Jamahl Horne on a 7-yard pass for the other score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gorillas went on to score its fifth touchdown without an answer from the Tigers on a 1-yard run by Cleo Chandler Jr. early in the fourth quarter. The Tigers finally snapped the scoring string by the Gorillas when Ethan Forrester<\/a><\/dfn> scampered in from 12 yards out with 8:08 to go in the game, producing the final margin of 35-14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethan Forrester<\/a><\/dfn> notched 192 yards of total offense in the game for FHSU, throwing for 142 yards and running for 50. Jack Dawson<\/a><\/dfn> was a perfect 6-of-6 throwing the ball for 37 yards and ran for 28. Cale Cormaney<\/a><\/dfn> led the Tigers in receiving yards with 48 on two catches, while Dawson Brown II<\/a><\/dfn> had a team-high six receptions for 38 yards. Makel Williams<\/a><\/dfn> led the Tiger defense with 12 tackles, followed by Trevion Mitchell<\/a><\/dfn> with 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dodson threw for 171 yards for the Gorillas. Katsis had a team-high 52 receiving yards and Chandler had a team-high 55 rushing yards. P.J. Swarinski<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
