Central Washington coach Scott Power noted earlier this week Sul Ross State showed some flashes of offensive prowess despite some struggles this season.
The Lobos capitalized on several mistakes by the Wildcats defense and freshman quarterback Will Howell made some plays to hang around for nearly a half Saturday at Tomlinson Stadium. However, No. 14 Central scored on its first eight drives and the defense found its form after halftime, securing a comfortable 61-22 win.
