Cullen Finnerty, who ran for two touchdowns, connected<br />

with Brandon Langston on a screen pass which he<br />

took 35 yards to paydirt for what would be the eventual<br />

winning touchdown.<br />

The Laker defensive unit stood tall, as Mike McFadden<br />

continued to pressure the NW Missouri State quarterback<br />

despite fighting an injury from the week before.<br />

As the game came down to the final seconds, Kirk<br />

Carruth and Joe Ballard stuffed a last gasp attempt just<br />

short <strong>of</strong> the goal line to seal the victory.<br />

Josh Bourke and Mike McFadden garnered all-american<br />

honors, and McFadden also earned the Gene Upshaw<br />

Award. The senior class finished as the winningest class<br />

in Laker football annals (51-4).<br />
