Tabor College ended its football season with a 38-7 loss at Kansas Wesleyan Saturday.
Preston McCorkle put up 219 rushing yards and led the Coyotes to their fifth win of the season.
“Our run defense just wasn’t very good,” coach Mike Gottsch said. “You didn’t have to look too hard at stats to see what teams were doing with us on the ground—and to win in this conference, you have to be able to stop the run.”
