Central Oklahoma held the lead for just 17 seconds Saturday night, but it was enough to drop the Missouri Western football team to 1-1 on the season in MWSU’s first-ever loss to UCO, 26-17.

Seth Hiddink’s 18 yard field goal with 17 seconds remaining gave the Bronchos their first lead of the game. Cody Jones padded the UCO margin with a 42-yard pick-6 as time expired. The loss snapped a 14-game, regular season road winning streak for the Griffons and delivered MWSU’s first ever loss to an opponent from Oklahoma.

Missouri Western jumped out to a 14-0 lead on two Skyler Windmiller touchdown passes. It was 14-10 at halftime. John Schmiemeier gave the Griffons a 17-10 lead before Chas Stallard’s three-yard scamper tied the game with 9:44 left.

Western returns home to face Northeastern State this Saturday at 6:00 p.m. for Military Appreciation Day and Family Day at Missouri Western.
