UIW, UMHB advance in NCAA playoffs while turnovers doom Angelo State
UIW overcame four turnovers to defeat Furman. Mary Hardin-Baylor used a fourth quarter spark from senior wide receiver K.J. Miller to earn a spot in the NCAA Division III national semifinals. An early turnover put Angelo State behind on the scoreboard, and a late turnover was the final nail in a tough loss to Colorado School of Mines.
All three NCAA playoff games involving Texas sub-FBS teams on Saturday began with the same result on the offense’s opening drive - a turnover.
UIW finished with four turnovers and a minus-two turnover margin but still found a way to defeat Furman 41-38. The Cardinals will face questions next week after four turnovers and 16 penalties, but they answered plenty of other questions on Saturday.
