October 11, 1984 — Interceptions ground WSC Airforce

The Wayne State College Airforce was temporarily grounded Saturday afternoon when it gave up a total of eight interceptions on the way to a 21-14 loss to the Tigers of Ft. hays State on the road in Hays, Kan. The Wildcats put the ball up 61 times to set a new school record, and completed 19 passes for 229 yards in the game, while limiting the Tigers to 151 yards, including -19 yards in the rushing category. "We just weren't good fundamentally on offense in the game against Ft. Hays...we weren't doing things right," said WSC Coach Pete Chapman. "The number of interceptions which we gave up were the result of a lot of small things which just kind of snowballed together, such as some breaks in blocking, running the wrong pass routes and hays pass coverage."
