LWC Football improves to 3-0 with 39-20 win at KY Wesleyan Click on headline for complete story, next game at home details By Chris Wells News from Lindsey Wilson College OWENSBORO, KY - Lindsey Wilson College quarterback Branden Cresap threw for 303 yards and tied his own program-record with five touchdown tosses to help the Blue Raiders to a 39-20 win over Kentucky Wesleyan College Saturday night, September 14, 2013, at *Steele Stadium. Matt Powers and Chris Dobbins hauled in two touchdown scores each as the Blue Raiders improved to 3-0 on the season. Defensively, Michael Brooks picked off a pair of passes to help Lindsey Wilson finish the game with three takeaways compared to no turnovers on offense. After forcing the Panthers into a three-and-out to open the game, Cresap hit Powers for a 59-yard touchdown down the right sideline to take a 6-0 lead. Kentucky Wesleyan (0-2) scored two possessions later as Dalton Oliver hit Keelan Cole on a slant from three yards out to tie the game a 6-6. Nathan Ballinger added the extra point for what would be the Panthers only lead of the game. On its first possession of the second quarter, Lindsey Wilson used 10 plays to march 89 yards to regain the lead. Beginning the drive deep in Lindsey Wilson territory, Rome Cotton scampered 53 yards to ignite the Blue Raider scoring drive. A pair of fourth down conversions, including a fourth-and-goal from the three-yard line, enabled the Blue Raiders to take the lead for good at 13-7. Cresap found Dobbins on a screen pass and the senior wide-out did the rest for his second touchdown of the season. Cresap and company didn't have to wait long to get another chance as the Lindsey Wilson defensive unit forced its second three-and-out of the game just shy of midway through the second quarter. Once again, the offense took advantage with a seven-play, 51-yard drive that took less than two minutes to give the Blue Raiders a 20-7 lead. Cresap used four receivers during the drive culminating with a 10-yard touchdown strike to Dobbins -- who ended the game with a team-high six catches totaling 51 yards. The touchdown pass was Cresap's program-record 50th of his career. Oliver cut the deficit to 20-14 on the next Panther drive as he connected with Jeff Ward for a 14-yard score. Oliver finished the game 27-of-48 for 303 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Ward caught 14 passes for 142 yards and the one score. With 4:06 left in the half, Lindsey Wilson used a pair of big plays to build its lead back to 13 points (27-14). A personal foul penalty on Kentucky Wesleyan during a punt attempt extended the Lindsey Wilson drive. Cresap and Powers made the Panthers pay with a 32-yard touchdown with just over a minute left in the half. Powers - who caught his 19th and 20th touchdowns of his career tonight - finished with two catches and a team-high 91 yards. The Panthers had a chance to score just before half, but Sam Mapa stopped Oliver one yard shy of the endzone as time expired in the first half. Lindsey Wilson extended its lead late in the third quarter as Cresap found a streaking Tavis Elzy down the left sideline for a 32-yard touchdown and a 34-14 lead. Cresap finished the game 20-for-41 and five scores - matching his single-game record five touchdowns passes set during the 2011 season. KWC scored for the final time with 10 minutes left in the game as Oliver and Cole combined for a score for the second time in the game. A botched extra point attempt was picked up and returned for two points by Lindsey Wilson's Avery Ford to give the Blue Raiders the 36-20 lead. Mark Corbett added a 38-yard field goal to make it a three-possession game with 6:42 left in the game all but ending the game in the Blue Raiders favor. Brooks capped the game with his second interception at the Lindsey Wilson three- line to deny the Panthers on their next to last possession. The Blue Raiders finished with 479 yards of total offense, including 176 rushing yards. Cory Davenport led the Blue Raiders' rushing attack with 73 yards while Rome Cotton added 64 yards. The Panthers ended with 432 total yards. - Chris Wells, Sports Information Director, Lindsey Wilson College Lindsey Wilson College football team hosts University of Pikeville (Pikeville, KY) at 1:30pmCT/2:30pmET, Saturday, September 21, 2013 at Blue Raider Stadium, 828 Russell Road (Google Map) Columbia, KY *Steele Stadium (Google Map/Directions) This story was posted on 2013-09-15 03:59:29
