HINU has enough to knock off Peru

? Cody Wilson hauled in a touchdown pass, and Marcus Benally busted through for a one-yard TD run in the third quarter, icing Haskell Indian Nations University’s 17-12 victory over Peru State in Central States Football League action Saturday at Oak Bowl.

Haskell put up only 149 yards of total offense to Peru’s 221, but five interceptions and two fumble recoveries helped the Fightin’ Indians keep Peru out of the end zone for the majority of the game. HINU also benefited from 13 Peru penalties for 124 yards.

Haskell racked up 17 first downs to Peru’s 12.

Mack Farris added a 27-yard field goal in the third quarter for the Indians (4-3).
