Falcons Hold Back Mustangs

SILVER CITY, N.M. – All the parts of the machine were working in perfect harmony as The University of Texas Permian Basin football team (#18 / #18) (9-1, 7-0 Lone Star Conference) beat Western New Mexico (1-8, 0-7 LSC) 56-3, Saturday afternoon at Ben Altamirano Field.

For most of the first quarter, the game resembled trench warfare with neither squad breaking.  With 3:15 left, grad student Kenny Hrncir connected with junior Deon Cook for a 29-yard touchdown.

At the 13:31 mark of the second quarter, sophomore Ben Patterson scored on a 24-yard pass.  The Falcons broke the game open with three touchdowns in the final nine minutes of the first half.

Offensively, UTPB finished with 631 yards in total offense, second best in program history.  They ran for 407 yards, the third best total in UTPB history.  Junior Nemier Herod ran for 121 yards and sophomore Kory Harris picked up 105.  The Falcons have now rushed for a school record 2278 yards on the season.

Hrncir was 14-of-21 for 219 yards and five touchdowns.  He has now thrown for 2546 yards breaking the season record of 2467 by Kameron Mathis (2016).  Cook had two touchdown catches.

Defensively, UTPB gave up 16 yards rushing, 77 yards passing and 93 yards total.  All three marks are second best lows in school history.
