The Thorobreds (3-2, 1-1 SIAC) were cruising to their third victory of the season before bad weather ended the contest with 1:40 left in the third quarter. KSU had just scored its seventh touchdown of the game on a 1-yard Lockett rush when lightning struck. The teams returned to the field and ran out the third quarter clock before the game was officially ended.
Lockett, who entered the game leading the SIAC in several rushing and offensive categories, added to his totals with 135 more rushing yards on 17 carries and three more touchdowns. Lockett now has 650 yards and 12 touchdowns in five games this season.
Junior quarterback Adam Robinson had arguably his best game of the season going 7-for-14 with 139 yards and two touchdowns through the air. Robinson connected on a 33-yard pass to Troy Churchill and a 26-yard pass to Clayton Patton Jr., both in the second quarter.
Sophomore quarterback Alex Springs also spent some time under center in the second quarter going 2-for-2 with 31 yards and a 19-yard touchdown pass to receiver Derek Woodmore. Woodmore finished the game with a game leading 87 yards on three catches.
Senior receiver Jakar Turner was a difference maker on special teams. Turner took an Alderson-Broaddus kick-off and returned it 91-yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. Turner finished with 110 return yards.
The Battlers (2-3) were led offensively by redshirt freshman quarterback Wesley Nesmith who finished the game with 165 yards and a touchdown on 13-for-24 passing. Redshirt freshman Brandon Jones was the leading rusher for Alderson-Broaddus finishing the game with 51 yards on 13 carries.
