Cowboys Ride High with Thrashing of Rival UMHB

The Mary Hardin-Baylor quarterbacks were welcoming to the Hardin-Simmons defensive backs at homecoming in Belton on Saturday. A bit too welcoming for Crusader fans. The HSU defense intercepted four passes from two different quarterbacks in the first half of a 44-21 thrashing of their rival.

“We were flying around, trying to make plays left and right today,” HSU head coach Jesse Burleson said. “We’ve dropped a bunch in other games, so I hope we have that fixed. We had a great game plan on both sides of the ball, and our guys executed it exactly like we planned.”
