Central Oklahoma has reached historic heights not seen since the oldest members of the team were toddlers. The last time the Bronchos started 4-0 was in 2004. On Saturday, UCO continued their undefeated run with a dominant 49-24 victory over Fort Hays State, keeping their perfect season alive.
No. 23 UCO wasted no time, exploding for 21 points and 252 yards in the first quarter alone. By halftime, they held a commanding 35-10 lead, with wide receiver Terrill Davis racking up over 200 yards and four touchdowns.
Jett Huff, the nation’s leading passer, went 22-for-26, throwing for 367 yards and five touchdowns. Davis finished with nine receptions for 217 yards and four scores.
“The guys did a great job of executing the gameplan,” UCO head coach Adam Dorrel said. “Jett and TD did such a great job, but everyone did too. The o-line did a great job of pass protection and making way for the run. And our defense was really good. Fort Hays is a good team and I’m really proud of the guys, all of them, for tonight’s effort.”
Central Oklahoma’s offense rolled up 591 total yards, with 383 yards passing and 208 yards rushing. Jaylen Cottrell averaged 12.2 yards per carry, rushing for 134 yards on just 11 carries, including a 79-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
Now 4-0, the Bronchos’ explosive offense and well-balanced attack have made them one of the top teams in the nation. UCO travels to Missouri Southern in Week 5 before returning home on Oct. 12 to face Northwest Missouri.
This historic start has UCO fans excited, as the Bronchos continue proving they are a force to be reckoned with this season.
