Falcons Fall Short In Comeback Bid

GUNNISON, Colo. – A furious comeback fell just short as The University of Texas Permian Basin football team (1-1) lost 35-27 to Western Colorado (RV) (2-0), Saturday afternoon at Katy O. Rady Field.

Western Colorado took a 35-20 lead going into the fourth quarter.  With 1:48 to go, junior Nemier Herod dove in from the one-yard line.  The extra point by junior Rafael Vargas made it 35-27.

The Mountaineers recovered the onside kick.  The Falcon defense held WCU and forced them to punt.  Taking over at its own 11-yard line, UT Permian Basin drove down the field to Western Colorado's nine-yard line.  Kenny Hrncir, a graduate student, had his pass broken up in the end zone as the gun sounded.

UT Permian Basin remains on the road, Saturday, Sept. 16, taking on Southwest Baptist.  The game is scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m.
