The University of Northern Colorado football team (1-2) faced fellow FCS opponent Lamar (2-1) in its home opener on Saturday afternoon. It was a defensive showdown at Nottingham Field with neither team able to get into an offensive rhythm and remained tied for more than half the game. Despite a history-making field goal from junior kicker Ben Raybon in the fourth quarter to break the tie and take a 10-7 lead, the defense couldn’t hold the Cardinals from getting a field goal to send the game into overtime. Lamar recorded a quick touchdown on its overtime attempt, retaking the lead.
