Senior Jaren Kanak responded just a few short plays later, with a 45-yard rushing touchdown, which was followed by senior Jack Fields’s extra point, tying the score at 7-7.

The Red Demons took the lead after a field goal, making the score 10-7, but this was the last time they led for the rest of the game.

The Indians started scoring and never slowed down. They were able to score on their five next possessions to push the score to 39-10.

Hays is now 5-1 on the year and are 3-1 in WAC games. They will take on Maize South on Oct. 15 for the Indians Homecoming game.
