Wayne State football traveled to Marshall, Minn. and defeated the Mustangs of Southwest Minnesota State University, 41-7 on Saturday evening. Senior quarterback Nick Bohn threw for 218 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 45 yards with a score. WSC only had a 14-7 lead coming out of the halftime break before they score 27 unanswered points to earn their fifth victory of the season.
            The Wayne State defense forces an SMSU three and out and gave Bohn and the offense the ball at the WSC 31-yard line. The first score of the game came in Wayne State's first drive of the game. Bohn found Akeem Knox roll out of the back field to score a 17-yard touchdown.

The Wayne State defense was clicking as well in the NSIC match up. Dexter Larson would strip the ball from a Mustang to force the fumble and set up the offense at the SMSU 33-yard line.
