Northern Colorado offensive tackle Jack Bacon (76) and Chadron State defensive end Andrew Calderon prepare to meet in this scene from the season-opener for both teams in Greeley last Saturday. The Bears apparently were planning to throw the ball.
Chadron State sophomore wide receiver Garet Schlabs, running with the ball, made the first start of his career last Saturday against Northern Colorado and caught five passes for 63 yards. Mekhi Toms is the Bears’ closest defender.
