Kayne Farquharson Has 3 TDs

LOVELAND, Colo. — Kayne Farquharson caught seven passes for 82 yards and three touchdowns as the Nebraska Danger captured its first road win of the season with a 45-33 victory over the Colorado Ice Saturday.

Farquharson caught two touchdown passes in the second half. The first was a 17-yarder from quarterback Rocky Hinds that gave the Danger (4-5) a 38-26 lead with 5 minutes, 1 seconds left in the third quarter.

“It was a big, big win,” Danger general manager Mike McCoy said. “They’re a very, very good team. They came in here 5-3 and were undefeated at home. We came in and played very well. We eliminated a lot of mistakes. We still made a few, but we were able to recover.”

The next Farquharson score was an 18-yarder from Hinds that put the Danger up 45-33 with 3:19 left in the game.

The Danger then held Colorado (5-4) on a fourth-and-goal from the 6-yard line to take possession with less than 1:30 left in the game.

Hinds completed 17-of-30 passes for 193 yards and four touchdowns.

The recently-acquired Jameel Sewell also made his presence felt. The new Danger back-up quarterback had two carries for 12 yards that helped when the Danger were down in scoring position.

“That was key when our back-up quarterback came in and had a couple of good runs,” McCoy said.

McCoy said the Danger defense also made its share of big plays and held the Ice to just 175 total yards.

“The defense had some big hits tonight,” he said. “They came to play. You love to see that, and we had a kickoff return for a touchdown (by Travars Pressley) as well.”

McCoy said this should give the team a good lift heading into Saturday’s game at Omaha.

“We couldn’t be happier,” he said. “We’re just going to enjoy this tonight and get ready to play Omaha next week. It’s a huge game. We’ll try to get a lot of Danger fans over there.”
