for three quarters. But one play changed everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 8:48 left, Pittsburg State (2-2, 1-1) connected on a 78-yard touchdown pass that flipped the scoreboard and the momentum. An interception gave the Gorillas another short field, and a fumble minutes later set up one more score. What was a six-point Tiger lead turned into a 15-point loss in less than nine minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Safety Michael Polley, who had his second interception in as many weeks, said the Tigers simply wore down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe brought a lot of energy, but towards the second half they were just more physical than we were, at least defensively,\u201d Polley said. \u201cWe\u2019ve just got to be better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, Polley said the defense never lost its belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis defense is just a family,\u201d he said. \u201cWe always believe in each other. We\u2019re a brotherhood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The numbers told a similar story. Fort Hays outgained Pittsburg State 396-389, held the Gorillas to just 234 yards through three quarters, and had 23 first downs compared to PSU\u2019s 20. But the Tigers finished only 2-for-5 in the red zone and committed three turnovers \u2014 two of which led directly to Gorillas touchdowns in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running back Donovan Hunt, a North Dakota transfer in his first season at Fort Hays, said the offense needs to make scoring a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to put up points,\u201d Hunt said. \u201cThat\u2019s what separates good from great. Three points are okay, but to win games in this conference, and to do what we want to do, we\u2019ve got to execute in the red zone and finish with touchdowns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunt led the Tigers with 76 rushing yards and added an impact as a receiver, collecting 6 receptions for 45 yards, but he said the standard has to change in practice before it changes on Saturdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to come with a different mindset \u2014 like we\u2019re trying to dominate,\u201d Hunt said. \u201cSomebody has to step up and make a play.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even so, Hunt appreciated the stage. Carnie Smith Stadium was sold out, with nearly 10,000 fans in attendance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs far as the D2 level, this has been a great atmosphere,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019ve got a nice thing going on here, nice scenery, nice stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Brown, though, atmosphere wasn\u2019t the problem. Execution was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to find a way to get points on the board,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd we\u2019ve got to play four quarters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>INF 349<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Story by GARRETT WELLBROCK Photos by PARKER NISBETH Tiger Media Network PITTSBURG, Kan. \u2014 Fort Hays State left Carnie Smith Stadium on Saturday night with&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":89799,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":false,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3387,7349],"tags":[1694,99,16359,15785],"class_list":["post-89791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football-sports","category-sports","tag-fhsu-football","tag-football","tag-garrett-wellbrock","tag-parker-nisbeth"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/FHSU-vs-PITT-14-of-23-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1706&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=89791"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89791\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89816,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89791\/revisions\/89816"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/89799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=89791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=89791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=89791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
