SAN ANGELO, Texas — Central Washington's coaches knew winning the turnover battle determined who won the game in the Wildcats' last five meetings with Angelo State.
They made that an emphasis heading into Saturday night's matchup at LeGrand Stadium and it paid off as Central took full advantage of four turnovers to beat Angelo State 41-14. Senior quarterback Justin Brennan showed his big play potential both through the air and on the ground as the No. 12 Wildcats won in San Angelo for the first time during Scott Power's first trip to Texas as a head coach.
