Football drops to No. 16 Baldwin Wallace

BEREA, Ohio – Taking on the No. 16 ranked team in the nation, the Otterbein University football team fell to Baldwin Wallace University, 63-16.

Receiving the opening kickoff, the Cardinals got on the scoreboard first when Braylon Balandra sailed a 37-yard field goal through the uprights for an early 3-0 lead. The hosts immediately answered with a quick scoring drive to take a 7-3 advantage. 

Otterbein responded on the ensuing possession to claim a 9-7 lead. On a third and one, Duke Corley broke through the Yellow Jacket defense and raced 46 yards to the house, his fourth rushing touchdown of the season. Another BW score saw the hosts leading 14-9 after one period. 

The Yellow Jackets outscored the Cardinals 21-0 in the second quarter to build a commanding lead at halftime. As BW continued to stretch the lead in the third, Otterbein earned its final score in the fourth quarter. Freshman Dom Back connected with Brian McGrady for the first collegiate touchdown for the pair, a 49-yard score. 

Freshman linebacker Eli Helton led the team with 11 total tackles. 

Next Saturday, the Cards return to Memorial Stadium to face off against Capital University in the Battle for the Oar. Kickoff against the Comets is set for 12 p.m.
