Big plays ignite Warhawks in 35-7 win
The Warhawks were in desperate need of a spark on offense after they found themselves trailing by a touchdown against Nicholls State. Second year quarterback Chandler Rogers dropped back and saw his receiver Alred Luke with a defender nearby. The lurking defensive back had position and could easily have outplayed Luke to force an incompletion or pick Rogers off.
But Rogers threaded the needle to Luke and the freshman receiver took off and powered through multiple Colonel defenders for a 68-yard gain.
