MJ Link had a night to remember on Saturday, setting the career touchdown receptions record for UT Permian Basin Football.  The senior had a monster night to give him 15 touchdowns as a Falcon.  He also was a big-play threat, going off for 191 yards against No. 5 Angelo State.  The 191 yards are the second most in a game in program history.
 
The Falcon offense woke up halfway through the second quarter.  Kory Harris got things going with a 26-yard carry to flip the field to Ram territory.  Two plays later Timothy Wiggins positioned the Falcons just outside the red zone.  Barton got the Falcons down to the five-yard-line with a 12-yard run later in the drive.  After a pair of Ram penalties set the Falcons up on the one before Suddin Sapien powered it into the endzone. 
 
A pair of big plays by MJ Link brought the crowd to life.  After a short punt by the Rams, Barton found Link on a 76-yard catch-and-run for the touchdown.  On their next drive, it was Barton to Link again, this time for a 70-yard touchdown that cut the deficit to 24-21.
 
A field goal and late touchdown by the Rams added to their cushion and made it 34-21. 
 
Barton totaled 246 yards with his pair of touchdowns on the night.  Harris ran the ball for 47 yards total.  Wiggins finished the game with a pair of catches for 50 yards.  Layne Horak led the defense with nine tackles, including one for a loss.  Tyson Carter and Jalon Rocquemore each had a sack in the effort.
 
The Falcons head to the Pacific Northwest next weekend to take on Western Oregon.  Download the UTPB Athletics App to follow the team all season long.
