It hasn’t taken Nick Bobeck long to get a storied Central Oklahoma program back on track.

Bobeck is in his fourth year at the helm and led the Bronchos to an 8-4 record in 2014 with a third-place finish in the rugged Mid-America Intercollegiate Ath-letics Association after the team was predicted to come in 10th in the 12-team league by conference coaches.

It was UCO’s first winning season since 2008 and the first eight-win campaign since 2004. The Bronchos also made their first post-season appearance since 2003, playing in the Mineral Water Bowl game.

Bobeck, who became UCO’s 13th head coach on Jan. 4, 2012 following a sparkling four-year head coaching stint at junior college powerhouse Navarro (Texas) College, has a 12-20 record with the Bronchos.

Nick, who played at UCO and then was a graduate assistant coach for the Bronchos, compiled a sensational 42-5 record at Navarro. The Bulldogs won the 2010 national champi-onship along with three regular season Southwest Junior College Football Conference (SWJCFC) titles during his tenure there.

Bobeck was a four-year letterman and two-year starter at fullback for UCO from 1999-02, earning first-team All-Lone Star Conference North Division honors as a senior.

He stayed on with the Bronchos as a graduate assistant coach the next three seasons, helping UCO go 20-12 during that stint while making the NCAA Division II playoffs in 2003.

Bobeck went to Texas A&M as an offensive line coach in 2006 when the Aggies finished 9-4 and earned a berth in the Holiday Bowl. He moved on to Navarro the following season and served as offensive coordinator in 2007 when the Bulldogs went 9-3 and won the conference crown.

Nick took over as head coach the next year, with his first squad finishing 10-1 and ranked fourth in the final poll. An 11-1 campaign and No. 3 ranking followed in 2009.

2015 UCO FOOtball

entral Oklahoma took baby steps during the first two years of head coach Nick Bobeck’s tenure before making a giant leap last season and the Bronchos are ready to continue their upward trend in 2015.

UCO ended a string of five straight losing seasons with a break-through 8-4 campaign last year, finishing third in the rugged Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association -- arguably the toughest conference in NCAA Division II -- and playing in the Mineral Water Bowl for its first post-season appearance since 2003.

Contending for the conference championship is next and the Bron-chos appear poised to do just that with the return of 42 lettermen, including 17 starters, to go with an influx of redshirts and a talented freshmen class.

‘‘Everything’s a process,” said Bobeck as he enters his fourth season at the helm. ‘‘Our kids had visual evidence last year that what we’re doing does work. I think we’ve turned the corner on getting a true buy-in from the players.

‘‘Last year we got beat by four football teams that were better than us. We return a lot of guys and are older now and we have a chance to take another step.”

UCO will feature a potent offense as nine starters are back, including the entire offensive line and several electrifying skill position players. The defense should continue to improve with some of the league’s best among the seven returning starters and the Bronchos also feature one of the MIAA’s top place-kickers.

‘‘We’re not going to sneak up on anybody this year, that’s for sure,” Bobeck said. ‘‘I think that happened some last year, but not now and we’ve got to be ready for that.

‘‘We have a team that’s got a chance to go com-pete for a championship and that’s what we’re focused on.”

Here’s a position-by-position look at UCO: offenSe

LINE: Ready to set the tone for what promises to be a high-octane offense is a line that returns all five starters from last year. The Bronchos moved some players around during spring drills and there’s no question this is a major team strength.

Landon Chappell (6-2, 283) is the lone senior up front and will fill a starting role at right guard for the fourth consecutive year, with sophomore standout Leighton Light (6-2, 280) set to be on the other side after moving over from center during the spring.

Sophomores Sam Noble (6-5, 295) and Mvhayv Locust (6-8, 280) are the front-runners for the top tackle spots, with Noble a returning starter and Locust a letterman featuring great potential.

Junior Brandon Waggoner (6-1, 305) was one of the best tackles in the MIAA the past two seasons before switching positions in the spring and will anchor the line at center.

Senior Montana Poorboy (6-3, 299), juniors Mason McLaughlin (6-3, 270) and Micah Goodman (6-5, 297) and sophomore Aaron Williams (6-3, 318) are returning lettermen who will push for playing time, with several redshirt freshmen also looking to help.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘We had a real solid group up front last year and they’re all a year older. We shuffled some people in the spring and have really good competition at all five spots, which make us better across the board. We’re really excited about what we have on the offensive line and the success they can have.”

RECEIVER: UCO lost two senior standouts here, but several experienced players return and this looks to be an area of strength.

Junior Connor Pulley (6-4, 220) is a big-play threat and leads the way after catching 24 passes for 409 yards and four touchdowns last season in his second year as a starter. He will be a main target this fall after topping the team in both yards per catch (17.0) and TDs.

Sophomore speedsters Josh Crockett (6-4, 195) and Myles Tease (5-10, 175) showed great potential last season and will see plenty of passes thrown their way. Crockett had 17 receptions for 227 yards and two TDs a year ago, while Tease had 13 catches for 161 yards.

Senior Caden Locke (6-0, 185) is a three-year letterman who lends great experience and sophomore Zach Hill (6-4, 225) was a part-time

starter at tight end/H-back last year before switching positions in the spring.

The Bronchos also expect junior transfer J.T. Luper (5-9, 175) and sophomore Easton Pingleton (5-11, 185) to push for action along with a host of

newcomers. Bobeck Says: ‘‘We’re talented at the wide

receiver position, there’s no question about that. It’s just finding the group that fits best with our quarterbacks. The most consistent player and our glue guy is Connor Pulley. We’ve got some other really talented kids back

and feel good about what they can do.”

TIGHT END/H-BACK: A true freshman stepped out of a redshirt season and into a starting

role after four games last year and UCO is looking for more big things from sophomore Caleb Moss (6-3,

230) at this crucial position.Moss caught 26 passes for 302 yards and one touchdown

after taking over while also showcasing excellent blocking ability and will continue to grow as an offensive threat.Junior Kyle Aschenbrenner (6-5, 246) is a tough, physical

player looking to return to the field after missing the last two seasons to injury, while redshirt freshman Tyler Sipe (6-3,

220) provides additional depth. Several freshmen will also look to help out here.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘This is a hard position in our offense and Moss did a great job coming in like he did last year. He gives us a different dynamic and has a chance to be really good. Aschenbrenner is a tough football player who can help us and

Sipe is very athletic.”

RUNNING BACK: Junior Jake Gandara (5-10, 195) took over the starting reigns as the feature back last season and had an outstanding year, with even more expected of the budding star in 2015.

Gandara was a second-team All-MIAA selection and ranked among the league leaders in rushing with 1,121 yards and 13 touchdowns on 194 carries, averaging a healthy 5.8 yards an attempt. He also ranked second on the team in receptions with 39 for 286 yards and averaged 20.5 yards per kickoff return in finishing with 1,632 all-purpose yards.

Sophomore Clay McKenzie (5-11, 200) is the main back-up and junior Greg Johnson (5-9, 180) will also see action after switching over from wide receiver late last year. McKenzie had 246 yards and three TDs in 63 tries a season ago and is a punishing runner.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘Jake is quietly a really, really good football player. He had an outstanding year and if you watch video of him, he does stuff that makes him a difference maker. Clay is a tough, rugged kid who is great in relief for us and Greg gives us a different gear at the position.”

SeaSon outlook QUARTERBACK: Back to spearhead what promises to be a

high-powered offensive attack is Chas Stallard (6-0, 210), a dynamic dual-threat sophomore who made scores of game-changing plays last year after earning the startering role in the pre-season.

Stallard was named the MIAA Freshman of the Year after completing 64.3 percent of his passes for 2,108 yards and eight touchdowns while also running for a single-season school quarterback-record 747 yards and nine scores.

The Bronchos have good depth here as well with juniors T.J. Eckert (6-0, 205) and Darrack Harger (6-5, 235). Eckert has shown what he can do while making several starts the past two years and Harger possesses a rocket arm capable of really igniting the passing game.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘We had really good competition at this position in the spring. Chas made a lot of plays for us last year and got us out of some jams, so we’re excited about what he does for us. T.J. keeps us out of bad football plays and knows how to operate our offense and Hager can make throws that many people can’t. It will be hard to unseat Chas, but we’ll see what happens in camp.”

DefenSeLINE: The Bronchos appear to be

in great shape on the defensive front, highlighted by a pair of veterans on the inside in senior Kenny Allen (6-2, 286) and junior Deontay Wilson (6-2, 296).

Allen was a second-team All-MIAA pick and earned third-team All-America honors from one publication last year after racking up 10.5 tackles for loss with 7.5 sacks. Wilson enters his third year as a starter and draws plenty of attention in the middle of the line.

Senior Antonio Guy (6-1, 285) and sophomores Dillon Rice (6-3, 285), B.J. Scott (6-2, 274) and Collis Walker (6-2, 270) are returning lettermen who provide excellent depth inside.

Senior Nick Koenig (6-3, 240) returns for his second tour of duty as an end starter and should be even more of a disruptive force, with sophomore letterman La’teze Clayton (6-1, 220) the front-runner to earn the other starting spot.

Junior Tanner Rice (6-2, 245) and a host of redshirt freshmen will also contend for playing time at end.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘As the defensive line goes is how our football team will go. Allen and Wilson are two of the best in our conference and are talented kids we need to have big years. Defensive end is a position with the most question marks right now and we may end up moving guys from inside. This is a pretty talented group, but a lot of them are untested.”

LINEBACKER: UCO must replace several key players in the linebacking corps, but has some returning experience and should also get help from newcomers and redshirts.

Sophomore Cade Shearwood (6-1, 215) is the lone returning full-time starter and is back on the weak side after accumulating 31 tackles with 5.0 for loss last season. Senior Jason Frimpong (5-11, 220) is a two-year letterman who will also see plenty of action there.

The Bronchos moved seniors Malcolm Howard (6-2, 220) and Tanner Koons (6-2, 220) to fill a void in the middle and are confident in their abilities to take over the post. The multi-talented Howard made 72 tackles in a part-time starting role last year and is a potential star, while Koons is a rock-solid veteran with 101 career tackles.

Taking over on the strong side will be either redshirt freshman Colton Lindsey (6-3, 215), who moved over from quarterback in the spring, or junior transfer Ben Jones (6-0, 205). Sophomore Dylan Ward (5-10, 190) could also be a factor there.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘The biggest question on the defensive side of the ball is who’s going to step up in the middle. We think Howard will take over and I think he’s starting to take a leadership role. Koons has played a bunch of football for us the last three years and is a good football player. Colton Lindsey is raw, but has a chance to be real

productive and Jones is going to help us. We feel good about Shearwood and Frimpong, they both played

really fast in the spring.”

SECONDARY: Four players with extensive starting experience and

several other lettermen return here, giving the Bronchos more depth than in recent years.

Senior Levonte Douglas (5-9, 172) has 26 career starts and

is back at a cornerback slot after making 37 tackles with two interceptions last fall. Speedy sophomore Omari Cole (5-11,

190) started the final five games in 2014 and is primed for a breakthrough season.

Senior Cody Jones (6-0, 205) returned two of his team-high four interceptions for touchdowns

last year before missing most of the last five games to injury and was moved from cornerback to strong

safety in the spring. Senior David Busby (5-11, 210) made 46 tackles as the starting free safety last year and

gives UCO great consistency.Ready to provide quality help are a trio of sophomore

lettermen -- Braden Calip (5-9, 196), Addison Staggs (5-11, 178) and Riley Galyon (5-11, 200) -- and a group of redshirt freshmen.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘We feel good about where we are in that we finally have some depth on the back end. Levonte has started three years and is really consistent and Cole is very talented. Cody Jones could move back if needed, he was extremely productive last year and we really like him at safety. Busby is back and had a good spring. There are others who can push for playing time.”

SPecial teamSThe return of one of the league’s top kickers highlights what should

be a productive special teams unit.Junior Seth Hiddink (6-4, 215) will handle the place-kicking chores

for the third straight year and has scored 150 career points, having made 72-of-76 extra points and 26-of-36 field goals.

Senior Ryan Kowalewski (5-11, 210) is back as the all-important deep snapper and two newcomers -- junior Christian Fulham (6-0, 240) and redshirt freshman Jake Huff (6-0, 175) -- are expected to battle it out for the punting job.

UCO has plenty of choices in the return game, though sophomore Jake Gandara (5-10, 195) should be one of the main men on kickoffs and junior J.T. Luper (5-9, 175) is being counted on to handle punts.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘Seth Hiddink has been really good for us the last two years and he’s had a great off-season. Kowalewski is the most consistent kid on our football team and is as good as I’ve been around. We’ve got two kids at punter and feel strongly about both of them. This is where we think we can make as big a jump on our football team as anywhere. We’ve got lots of options in returns and will have open competition.”

GAME 1 Central Oklahoma 26Fort Hays State 7

HAYS, Kan. (Sept. 4) -- Quarterback Chas Stallard was superb in his first-ever college game, Seth Hiddink kicked four sec-ond-half field goals and Central Oklahoma’s defense dominated to lead the Bronchos to an historic 26-7 victory over Fort Hays State in the 2014 season opener.

UCO broke a six-game season-opening losing streak with the 600th win in program history. The Bronchos never trailed after jumping out to a 14-0 halftime lead and out-gained the Tigers 489-181 in what turned out to be a Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association mismatch.

Stallard, a redshirt freshman making his collegiate debut, was poised from start-to-finish in leading the offensive onslaught. He rushed 17 times for 107 yards and a touch-down while completing 15-of-23 passes for 204 yards and a score.

Running back Jake Gandara ground up 136 yards on 24 carries as UCO had two 100-yard rushers for the first time since 2009. The Bronchos finished with 285 rushing yards behind the starting offensive line unit of Landon Chappell, Micah Goodman, Leighton Light, Brandon Waggoner and Aaron Williams.

Hiddink knocked through second-half field goals of 18, 37, 38 and 47 yards and UCO’s defense did the rest.

The Bronchos, who registered only two shutout quarters during the entire 2013 season, pitched three against FHSU and the Tigers’ lone score came on a long kickoff return in the third quarter.

Safety Matt Pruitt finished with a team-high six tackles and one interception to pace the gang-tackling defense.

GAME 2Central Oklahoma 26Missouri Western 17

EDMOND (Sept. 13) -- Cody Jones scored on a 42-yard interception return on the final play of the game to put the finishing touches on a stir-ring fourth-quarter comeback that lifted Central Oklahoma to a stunning 26-17 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association upset of Missouri Western at Wantland Stadium.

The Bronchos took a 20-17 lead on Seth Hid-dink’s 18-yard field goal with 17 seconds left and the Griffons picked up one first down before Jones stepped in front of a pass near the MWSU sideline and raced untouched into the end zone as the final buzzer sounded.

The Bronchos made plenty of huge defen-sive plays throughout the game in holding the Griffons to 261 total yards. Linebacker Chass Glaspie made a team-high 11 tackles and UCO had 10 tackles for loss in the contest.

Jones intercepted two passes, returning the first one 41 yards late in the second quarter to set up a Hiddink field goal that got UCO within 14-10 at halftime.

Quarterback Chas Stallard hit 29-of-39 passes for 271 yards and a touchdown while adding 90 yards and a score in 19 rushes.

Stallard sparked the go-ahead scoring drive with runs of 12, 19 and 23 yards as the Bronchos dove to the MWSU one before sending Hiddink on for the chip-shot field goal to give UCO its first lead of the night.

GAME 3Central Oklahoma 24Emporia State 14

EMPORIA, Kan. (Sept. 20) -- Levonte Douglas scored on a school-record 100-yard fumble return and Central Oklahoma’s de-fense thwarted Emporia State’s high-octane offense at nearly every turn in pulling off a 24-14 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association upset.

The Bronchos led 17-7 at halftime and stopped ESU’s first six possessions of the second half before a UCO fumble near midfield led to the Hornets’ only offensive score of the game with 2:49 left in the game.

That made it 24-14 and Emporia -- ranked No. 23 by d2football.com -- couldn’t re-cover the ensuing onside kick, enabling the Bronchos to run out the clock to secure their second straight win over a top-25 team.

Linebacker Malcom Howard made a team-high nine tackles, while cornerbacks Cody Jones (eight tackles) and Douglas (seven) helped keep ESU’s passing attack at bay. UCO forced four turnovers while holding the Hornets to 385 yards on 81 plays.

The Bronchos managed 319 yards (161 rushing, 158 passing). Running back Jake Gandara had 97 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries, while quarterback Chas Stallard hit 16-of-29 passes for 158 yards and a score.

UCO’s lead was 10-7 when Linebacker Chass Glaspie’s jarring hit caused a fumble that Douglas picked up in the end zone. The junior cornerback had nothing but clear sailing as he sprinted 100 yards down the sideline in front of the UCO bench for the record-setting touchdown that put the Bron-chos on top 17-7 with 8:58 left in the half.

GAME 4Northwest Missouri 36Central Oklahoma 13

EDMOND (Sept. 27) -- Central Oklaho-ma’s overworked defense finally succumbed to Northwest Missouri’s relentless attack in the second half as the top-ranked Bearcats pulled away to a 36-13 league victory at Wantland Stadium.

The Bronchos repelled several NWMSU advances in the first half and trailed the defending national champions just 13-6 at intermission, but the Bearcats were simply too much in the final two quarters when they took control of the game.

NWMSU racked up 356 of its 616 total yards in the second half and scored 23 unan-swered points to open up a 36-6 lead before UCO notched its lone touchdown of the day.

The Bronchos were without their top three offensive weapons -- quarterback Chas Stal-lard, running back Jake Gandara and wide receiver Marquez Clark – and finished with just 169 total yards.

Linebackers Chass Glaspie (14 tackles) and Malcolm Howard (12 tackles, one interception) led the defense.

GAME 6Central Oklahoma 43Missouri Southern 41 (3OT)

EDMOND (Oct. 11) – A triple-overtime shootout came down to a question of which team could convert a two-point conversion and Central Oklahoma’s Chas Stallard had the answer in propelling the Bronchos to a wild 43-41 victory over Missouri Southern at Wantland Stadium.

The redshirt freshman quarterback, who tied the game at 41-all with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Connor Pulley, gave the Bronchos their first OT win since 2007 when he rolled right and sprinted into the end zone for the tie-breaking two points.

Stallard’s heroics were set up by a UCO defense that stopped the Lions on their two-point try, which teams are required to do starting with the third overtime. MSSU went ahead 41-35, but linebackers Malcolm Howard and Michael Harris stuffed a run up the middle on the conversion attempt.

The two teams ended regulation dead-locked at 21 and both had little trouble scor-ing in the first two overtimes to remain tied.

UCO had a third-and-two on its final possession when Stallard and scrambled away from trouble before connecting with Pulley for the tying touchdown from seven yards out.

Jake Gandara finished with 215 yards and three TDs rushing on 26 carries. Stal-lard ended up with 67 rushing yards and was 11-of-21 passing for 89 yards.

Linebacker Chass Glaspie was all over the field defensively and racked up 23 tackles.

The Mules scored on their first two posses-sions of the game to jump on top quickly and UCO never recovered. It was 14-3 at halftime and UCM built a 31-6 lead before the Bron-chos scored their only two touchdowns of the game in the final seven minutes.

GAME 8Central Oklahoma 35 Washburn 26

EDMOND (Oct. 25) – Quarterback Chas Stallard broke free for a game-clinching 60-yard touchdown run in the final minutes and Central Oklahoma’s defense came up with some key stops as the Bronchos sub-dued stubborn Washburn 35-26 at Wantland Stadium.

The Ichabods trailed just 28-26 after a short TD pass with 6:56 remaining, but Stal-lard went up the middle on a draw and was untouched on his cross-county scoring jaunt with 3:40 left that sealed the verdict.

The Bronchos overcame a 10-0 first-quarter deficit and the defense forced WU to settle for field goals of 20, 23, 25 and 28

yards after the Ichabods had reached a first down inside UCO’s 20-yard-line.

Stallard rushed for 158 yards -- a single-game school record for a quarterback -- on just 14 car-ries while also completing 11-of-19 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown.

Jake Gandara ran 16 times for 123 yards and two TDs as UCO finished with 338 rushing yards.

Linebacker Michael Harris led the defense with career-high 13 tackles. Safety Matt Pruitt added 10 tackles, two broken up passes and an interception and linebacker Cade Shearwood had 10 tackles with 1.5 for loss.

The Bronchos overcame the early 10-0 deficit with 14 unanswered points in taking the lead for good.

Gandara’s 19-yard scoring dash got things started and Pruitt’s interception at the UCO 10 led to a 90-yard march that Clay McKenzie ended with an 11-yard TD smash to make it 14-10.

and Central Oklahoma used a dominating second half to roll over Lindenwood 45-13. It gave the Bronchos their first eight-win season since 2004 and equaled UCO’s victory total of the last four years combined.

Clark had an 18-yard touchdown run in the first half and 18-yard scoring catch in the second and Orso followed the second TD with a 43-yard interception two plays later to cap a 21-point third quarter that broke the game open.

UCO gained 277 of its 443 total yards in the final two quarters and ended up with 263 rushing yards. Running back Jake Gandara had 21 carries for 90 yards and a score to lead the ground game that also saw guard Landon Chappell run 22 yards with a fumble recovery.

GAME 11Pittsburg State 41Central Oklahoma 14

EDMOND (Nov. 15) – No. 6-ranked Pittsburg State’s high-octane attack was simply too much for Central Oklahoma as the Bronchos fell 41-14 in the regular season finale at Wantland Stadium.

The Gorillas scored on their first five posses-sion of the game and racked up 356 of their 531 total yards in the first half to take a 27-7 lead en route to improving to 10-1 in earning a share of Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Associa-tion championship and clinching a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs.

UCO was limited to 222 total yards, including a season-low 71 passing. Running back Jake Gandara had a stellar outing with 103 yards on just 11 carries with touchdown runs of one and 74 yards in surpassing the 1,000-yard mark.

PSU took control quickly in going ahead 17-0. Gandara briefly got the Bronchos back in the game when he burst through a gaping hole over the left side and raced 74 untouched yards to pull UCO within 17-7 with 13:15 left in the half.

But PSU’s offense couldn’t be stopped and the Gorillas pushed their lead to 27-7 by intermission.

GAME 12Sioux Falls 42Central Oklahoma 10

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo. (Dec. 6) – A rough start put Central Oklahoma in an early hole and the Bronchos never recovered in falling to No. 16-ranked Sioux Falls 42-10 in the 49th Annual Mineral Water Bowl.

The Cougars of the Northern Sun Intercol-legiate Conference seemed intent on proving it belonged in the NCAA Division II playoffs after a 10-1 regular season and used several big plays in jumping out to a 28-3 lead early in the second quarter en route to ending UCO’s season an 8-4.

UCO quarterback Chas Stallard hit 19-of-37 passes for 231 yards and gained 85 yards on 22 rushes, but he threw three interceptions and was sacked five times. Running back Jake Gandara was limited to 44 yards on 16 attempts while also catching six passes for 60 yards.

USF scored on a 55-yard punt return just over a minute into the game, followed another three-and-out by the Bronchos with a 47-yard touchdown drive to go ahead 14-0 with 7:51 still left in the first period and UCO never got closer.

Central Oklahoma has qualified for the national playoffs 10 times in its history, winning two cham-pionships.

UCO made it to the NAIA playoffs six times, capped by championship seasons in 1962 and 1982, and has made four NCAA Division II playoff appear-ances. The Bronchos are 10-8 in the playoffs -- 11-7 with a forfeit -- and 5-1 at home.

Central made its first playoff appearance in 1962, winning two games to capture the university’s first-ever national title. The Bronchos qualified again in 1972, ’79, ’82, ’83 and ’85, finishing runner-up in 1979 and winning their second national title in 1982.

UCO first qualified for the Division II playoffs in 1996, then made back-to-back showings in 1998-99 before going back in 2003.

homa had no problem in its first-ever playoff contest, advancing to the NAIA national championship game with a 20-0 rout of College of Emporia (Kan.) in a battle of unbeatens at Taft Stadium.

The Bronchos limited the Hornets to 163 yards to-tal offense while rolling up 324 yards rushing, topped by R.L. Briggs’ 23-carry, 151-yard performance.

Jim Davis put UCO on top early in the second period when he recovered a fumble in the end zone and the Bronchos went ahead 13-0 later in the quarter on a one-yard TD run by Briggs and Jack Kieder’s extra point.

It stayed that way until midway through the fourth quarter when Briggs scored from two yards out for a 20-0 lead that wrapped up the win.

EDMOND -- Central Oklahoma had probably its worst offensive game of the season, but came through in the clutch when it needed to in trimming previously unbeaten Colorado Mesa, 14-11, at Wantland Stadium to capture its second NAIA national championship.

UCO netted only 165 yards total offense against the Mavericks, but came up with a couple of crucial fourth-quarter interceptions to help secure the win.

UCO, which finished 8-1-1 and had a 16-game non-losing streak ended, was on top 13-0 heading into the final 15 minutes, thanks to a four-yard touchdown run by Randy Page in the second quarter and a one-yard Bruce Vann TD burst in the third period.

But the Cardinals, with a stiff wind at their backs, drew within 13-7 early in the fourth quarter, then scored on a trick play -- a 48-yard pass-lateral -- to take the lead with just 1:28 left in the game.

UCO didn’t give up, however, as Page completed passes for 36 yards to Daric Zeno and 20 yards to Willie Henderson in moving the Bronchos to Saginaw’s 31-yard-line before he was intercepted with 26 seconds left.

goal with less than a minute to play as No. 1-rated Central Oklahoma held on for a thrilling 21-19 victory in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs.

The unbeaten Bronchos, who won their school-record 12th game of the season, used turnovers to take a 14-6 halftime lead.

Strong safety Brandon Carder scored on a 47-yard interception return to give UCO a 7-6 lead and a Brad Shea fumble recovery at the CSC 20-yard line led to a 16-yard Reggie Donner touchdown run.

The Bronchos led 21-12 after Donner’s seven-yard TD scamper early in the fourth period, but Chadron State scored with 2:33 remaining to make it 21-19 and then recovered the onside kick.

Central Oklahoma is in its fourth year as a member of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.

The MIAA, a 14-member conference of NCAA Division II insti-tutions in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma, was first or-ganized in 1912 as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

Over the past 100 years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of be-ing one of the top NCAA Division II conferences in the nation. MIAA schools have won 15 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, over 160 individual national titles.

The MIAA currently conducts champi-onships in eight sports for men and nine for women.

For the men, champions are crowned in football, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, baseball, tennis and golf.

The women compete for titles in vol-leyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, softball, golf and tennis.

The MIAA turned a new page on July 1, 1992, when the NCAA Division II confer-ence changed its name from the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics As-sociation.

The decision to make the change originated in 1989, when Pittsburg State and Washburn became the first schools outside the state of Mis-souri to gain membership in the MIAA.

The conference was first organized in 1912 with 14 member institu-tions. Of those original members, Central Missouri, Truman State and Northwest Missouri State still remain a part of the MIAA.

The first change in membership came in 1924, when the MIAA reorganized to include only the five regional Missouri state colleges:

The MId-AMerIcA InTercollegIATe AThleTIcs AssocIATIon Central Missouri, Truman (at the time known as Northeast Missouri State), Northwest Missouri, Southeast Missouri State and Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State).

Over the next 56 years, three schools joined the membership: Mis-souri School of Mines (later Missouri-Rolla) in 1935, Lincoln in 1970 and the Missouri-St. Louis in 1980.

Ken Jones became the first full-time commissioner of the MIAA in 1981 and would be in the position for 16 years, retiring in 1997. Ralph

McFillen succeeded Jones, serving 10 years before his retirement in 2007.

Jim Johnson succeeded McFillen in July of that year and served as commissioner until September of 2010, when Dr. Bob Boerigter took over.

Southwest Baptist brought membership back to eight schools in 1986, before the major expansion of the conference in 1989. Pittsburg State, Washburn, Missouri South-ern and Missouri Western began competi-tion in the 1989-90 season.

Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA following the 1990-91 season and was re-placed by Emporia State in the 1991-92 season.

Missouri-St. Louis departed the MIAA in 1996, Missouri-Rolla left in 2005 and

Lincoln forfeited its membership in 1999. Fort Hays State joined the MIAA in 2006, Nebraska-Omaha entered the league in 2008 and Lin-coln re-joined the conference in 2010.

UCO, Lindenwood, Nebraska-Kearney and Northeastern State all become league members with the start of the 2012-13 academic year.

Nebraska-Omaha left the league in 2011 and Truman State did the same in 2013, which leaves the conference with 14 schools. Lincoln and SBU are associate members and don’t compete in football.
