#3 TYLER MAKES IT A LONG DAY FOR BLINN FOOTBALL

Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information

The Blinn College football team endured a tough day on the gridiron Saturday, resulting in a 55-7 loss to No. 3 Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas.

The Southwest Junior College Football Conference setback dropped the Buccaneers to 3-3 overall and 1-3 in conference play.

Tyler opened the scoring on the first offensive drive of the game and went on to build a 34-0 halftime lead.

Blinn turned to backup quarterback Trevor Long late in the game, and the freshman ended the Apaches’ shutout bid with an 11-yard touchdown pass to freshman wide receiver Braylen Harris.

Up next for the Bucs is a bye week in which they will look to regroup ahead of a conference road trip to Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25, in Miami, Okla.
