Small College Spotlight Game: Hardin-Simmons survives scare from Trinity

ABILENE - - Two powerful offenses met at Shelton Stadium on Saturday night, but the battle between No. 9 Hardin-Simmons and Trinity turned into a defensive brawl. The Cowboys offense scored 16 unanswered points to earn a huge 16-10 non-conference victory over the Tigers.

“We knew all week coming in that it was going to be a tough game. Those guys are good and they’re well-coached so we knew it would take all four quarters and it did,” said Hardin-Simmons head coach Jesse Burleson. “I’m really proud of the way our guys fought back through the adversity. Everything didn’t go exactly like we planned and that’s ok.
