CALDWELL, Idaho – Caden Young's 11-yard keeper to the end zone in overtime gave College of Idaho a 27-24 win and possibly ended No. 14-ranked Southern Oregon's season on Saturday at Simplot Stadium.

Young, filling in for injured All-Frontier Conference quarterback Andy Peters, enabled the Yotes (7-4 overall, 5-3 FC) to shrug off a 10-0 halftime deficit with four rushing touchdowns. He got only 56 passing yards out of 31 attempts, but netted 165 on the ground across 24 carries.

The Raiders (8-3, 5-3) trailed 21-10 following Young's third score a minute into the fourth quarter. They responded with an 85-yard drive – prolonged by 60 yards worth of completions from Blake Asciutto to James Mintmier and Jackson Clemmer, and capped by Gunner Yates' five-yard rushing TD – and, following a Yotes three-and-out, they tied the game on a 26-yard Brian Batres field goal with 4:55 remaining.

Batres also nailed a 40-yard field goal on the first possession of OT, but four plays late Young won it for the Yotes.

The news around the rest of the NAIA wasn't good, either. The Raiders likely need at least a top-17 ranking to receive an at-large bid when the 20-team NAIA Championship Series field is announced at 4 p.m. Sunday. Only one other top-20 team, No. 18 Saint Francis (Ind.), went down on Saturday, meaning the loss to C of I could result in a significant drop.

All three of the Raiders' losses were on the road, by a combined margin of 14 points. They were the only team to defeat No. 4 Montana Western, which clinched the Frontier championship outright with a 29-19 win at Eastern Oregon.

Against the Yotes, Yates ran 21 times for 118 yards and brought his SOU-record season rushing TD total to 27 with two more. On the first drive of the game, he converted a 3rd-and-17 with a 20-yard run and went 40 yards two plays later to put the Raiders in front.

C of I's pass defense gave SOU fits, though, in holding Asciutto to 160 yards on 32 attempts. It also got a critical interception from Chase Brown, who returned it 39 yards to the goal line, setting up the Yotes' go-ahead score in the third quarter.

SOU's defense did well to limit the Yotes to that point. In the second quarter, the Raiders turned them over on downs twice inside the eight-yard line.

Senior linebacker Ty Glumbik posted a season-high 10 tackles with a pass-breakup. Iona Purcel had a sack among his eight tackles.
