Dordt College Football vs. Hastings
October 4, 2008
(Hastings, Nebraska) The Dordt College Defender football team hung tough for nearly three quarters but the Hastings College Broncos took advantage of a pair of turnovers to score three quick touchdowns on the way to a 35-0 Great Plains Athletic Conference win over the Dordt College Defenders.
The Broncos struck for two quick scores in the first quarter. The hosts scored on a two-play, 23 yard drive to open the scoring at the 12:25 mark of the quarter. The hosts then held Dordt on their next possession and took the ensuing drive 55 yards for a score with 7:33 left in the quarter for a 14-0 lead. For the rest of the half the Defenders controlled the clock. The Dordt offense took the ball from their own 27 to the Hastings 28 before attempting a 46 yard field goal that was off the mark on the breezy day. The Dordt defense held Hastings to three plays and a punt and again had success moving the ball all the way to the Hastings two yard line before fumbling. The Defenders ran ten plays from scrimmage on the drive and actually had the ball for 12:44 of the second quarter.
The score remained 14-0 until Maurice Mansfield caught a 20 yard pass for a touchdown with :38 remaining in the third quarter to cap a 47 yard drive. Hastings then picked off a pass to start the fourth quarter to stretch the lead to 28-0 on the return for touchdown and they capped the scoring with a 40 yard drive near the midpoint of the fourth quarter.
Dordt gained 76 yards on the ground and 113 yards through the air while surrendering 229 yards of rushing offense and 119 yards through the air. Ben Robbins ran for 42 yards on 21 carries and John Blair had 36 yards on six rushes. Scotty Walden completed 13-23 passes for 113 yards.
