UMHB loses against HPU

UMHB (3-0) loses with less than 2 minutes remaining.
Howard Payne (1-3) marched 93 yards with 1:30 remaining and did a major upset against UMHB 24-20. Wow. Our offense only scored one touchdown the whole game.
Two more Top 25 teams were upset earlier this afternoon, as Kenyon, which had lost eight in a row to Wooster, the last six by an average of 42.5 points, got 176 rushing yards and two touchdowns from Alby Coombs in upsetting the No. 24 Scots 24-21. Gettysburg continued McDaniel's woes, edging the No. 19 Green Terror 20-19.
Well... let's wait. UMHB is getting another play after the kick return. A penalty against HPU on the final kick off.
A couple latterals and that's it.
UMHB was ranked 2 and 3 before the game and now they've been beaten by an unranked team. It will likely knock UMHB out of the top 10.
Because UMHB passed up the game against Lousianna College this might be a big upset when playoff picks are being chosen. They'll be half-a-game off on win percentages.
It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out.

But UT won. Romance Taylor (from Belton) scored the first passing TD by Texas against OU since 1999.

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!! Now if you said we lost to HSU, that would be a different story. Let's be optimistic here (or try to be). I'll keep my fingers crossed.
