32 Stagg Bowl XLIV

The Cru capped season #19 of UMHB football by finally reaching the top goal set by Head Coach Pete Fredenburg when he started building the program in 1997, as the Cru won the first national championship in program history with a 10-7 victory over Wisconsin-Oshkosh in Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl XLIV in Salem, Virginia. UMHB fell behind early before rallying to take the lead. The Cru defense made it stand up by forcing timely turn- overs down the stretch to cap a 15-0 campaign and give UMHB a chance to hoist the Walnut and Bronze. The Titans forced the UMHB offense to go three-and-out on the opening possession and capital- ized by driving 64 yards in nine plays on their open- ing drive of the game. Dylan Hecker dove in from two yards out to give Wisconsin-Oshkosh a 7-0 lead with 9:38 remaining in the first quarter. The Cru offense responded with a long sus- tained drive of its own. UMHB marched 66 yards in 20 plays, with the arm and legs of quarterback Blake Jackson accounting for all of the yardage. John Mowery connected on a 22-yard field goal to cap a drive that took 8:29 off the clock and cut the UWO lead to 7-3. The two defenses took over from there as the Cru forced a punt and the Titans intercepted a Jackson pass on the ensuing posses- sion. UMHB’s defense stepped up again as Haston Adams and Brazos Fuller combined to stop UWO quarterback Brett Kasper on fourth down at the Cru 25-yard line. Jackson and the UMHB offense took advantage again, this time driving 75 yards in 14 plays. Jackson hit Wykeyhe Walker for a 21-yard completion, Duane Thompson broke off a 12-yard run and Jackson added a 13-yard scamper in a three-play stretch to take the ball down to the Titans’ eight-yard line. Jackson covered the final eight yards in three carries, scoring on a one-yard plunge with 3:16 left in the first half. Mowery tacked on the extra point and the Cru took a 10-7 lead, mark- ing the first time UMHB had a lead in two Stagg Bowl appearances. Wisconsin-Oshkosh looked to respond and drove to the UMHB 23-yard line on the next pos- session. Jaedon Johnson stepped in front of a Kasper pass at the Cru one-yard line for an interception to end the threat and the Cru would hold a 10-7 lead at halftime. UMHB’s defense opened the second half by stuffing theTitans on fourth down on the open- ing drive, but a Cru fumble gave the ball right back to UWO deep in UMHB territory. The defense was again up to the challenge and forced an Oshkosh punt. One possession later, Jackson found T.J. Josey deep behind the Titan defense for a 54-yard gain as the Cru drove inside the UWO ten-yard line for the second time. Four plays later, Jackson fumbled the ball away on first-and-goal at the Oshkosh seven- yard line and the Cru’s third turnover of the day cost UMHB a chance to extend the lead. The Cru defense surrendered one first down on the next drive, but forced another punt and the two teams would go into the final 15 minutes of play with UMHB clinging to that 10-7 lead.

33 Stagg Bowl XLIV The defenses would dominate the fourth quar- ter. UMHB would have one more chance to expand its lead, methodically driving 76 yards in 11 plays to the Titans’ two-yard line, but Mowery’s 19-yard field goal try was wide left with 2:23 left to play. Osh- kosh took the ball and drove to the Cru 35-yard line. Three straight incompletions set up a fourth-and-ten and UMHB’s defense again came up big to seal the win. Matt Cody picked off Kasper’s pass at the Cru 22-yard line to end the threat with 35 seconds on the clock. UMHB ran out the clock to set off a wild cel- ebration, both in Salem, and back home in Belton. Jackson was voted the game’s Most Out- Stagg Bowl XLIV standing Player after rushing for 119 yards and a UMHB 10, Wisconsin-Oshkosh 7 touchdown and going 16-27 through the air for 171 Dec. 16, 2016 • Salem, VA • 3,476 more yards.
